Sure! Improving sleep is one thing acupuncture does best.

Can you treat tinnitus with acupuncture?

How does acupuncture relieve pain?
Acupuncture relieves pain by regulating nociorecepters, which are sensory neurons that perceive pain. In chronic pain conditions, these neurons can be actively sending pain signals to the spine and brain without actual stimuli, purely due to habit. Acupuncture has been proven in research to help in stopping this redundancy of signaling, ultimately relieving pain. READ MORE
Does acupuncture work for anti-aging?
Yes, for a few reasons. Research has proven that there is an increase in collagen production at needle injection sites, so this would have an anti-aging effect on the areas that have been needled. Aside from this Acupuncture regulates hormones that may be out of balance, causing more emotional and/or oxidative stress on the body, as well as the visible side effects of stress. It also improves circulation and deliverance of vitamins and other nutrients to the body's tissues, maintaining a level a hydration and nourishment that may otherwise be strained. READ MORE

How long does acupuncture pain relief last?
Usually I tell my patients, the effect is cumulative, given the treatments are grouped together in a timely manner. After the first treatment, there can be anywhere from a day of relief to multiple days of relief. Then, if the patient comes on a frequent basis, the relief should last longer and longer after each, provided the diagnosis and treatment are accurate. READ MORE
Can a fever be treated with acupuncture?
Absolutely. This is a very poignant and effective treatment. That said, if you have a high fever for up to 3 hours, you will need to bring it down yourself because you do not want to sustain a fever over 103 degrees for longer than that. The most effective way to do so at home would be to suck on ice or a popsicle. READ MORE
Can acupuncture help with lung pain?
Yes absolutely, but this is a reason to go to the ER and get a chest x-ray so that you know what is causing the pain first, since lung pain could indicate a more complicated issue. READ MORE

Acupuncture is a system of healthcare that has been developed, refined, and practiced in China for the past 5,000+ years. In ancient times, Acupuncture, along with herbal medicine, was used as the primary method of treating injuries and illness. It involves the insertion of solid, filiform stainless steel needles into points on the body that have been proven to relieve pain and discomfort. Fundamentally, Acupuncture works by improving the circulation of blood and energy around the body and can therefore serve as an effective vehicle to maintain general health and well-being when utilized preventively.
