Stress is something we all live with, and we all manage very differently. One of the ways to understand if the body is functioning properly is through your quality of sleep.

 The  Chinese medical text states that all disease comes from the balance of our emotional health. In modern day, our medical models and research is finally starting to catch on to this innate understanding. Whether we are conscious of it or not, stress and emotions can affect our physical bodies. Often times, stress directly affects our quality of sleep as well.

Acupuncture has been shown to increase blood circulation, benefit our immune system, and regulate our autonomic nervous system(ANS). When treating stress in our clinic, we start by addressing the why, the where in the body, and the goals each patient wants to achieve with regular treatment to help combat stress. From there, we are able to create a treatment plan that involves acupuncture, Chinese herbs, supplements, food nourishment, and meditation practice that can help both inside the treatment room, and at home. 

The idea is that we Reset the autonomic nervous system that automatically responds to stress with dis-harmony in our waking lives, or sleep issues. We do this within each treatment, and then we provide you with tangible tools and activities you can do on your own to help manage stress more effectively. Whether stress is affecting your pain levels, your digestion, your sleep, brain cognition, or any other mental, emotional, and physical problem you are experiencing, we are seasoned practitioner’s in stress management and we can get you to living your best life in incredible time.  

 The quality of sleep is often one of the ways we gauge if treatment is working in each and every case at Reset Medical Solutions. If your sleep is improving, or your digestion is improving, this means we are on the right track in terms of your individual treatment plan. Often times, sleep is one of the positive "side effects" of regular treatment.

When we sleep we are balancing our nervous system and functioning in our parasympathetic nervous system (“rest and digest”), which is vital to our overall health and longevity. When we are awake, most of us live in a “fight or flight” sympathetic neural output, i.e. we are mostly stressed. 

We achieve balance when we are in our “rest and digest” parasympathetic nervous system. This mostly happens when we sleep, eat pray/meditate, get a massage/acupuncture/Reiki, or do something relaxing in nature. As you can imagine, most of us live a very unbalanced lifestyle when it comes to our ANS, and if you have chronic sleep issues, you can be even more unbalanced. 

Utilizing acupuncture, Chinese herbs, lifestyle nourishment suggestions, and meditation techniques, your treatment plan with Reset Medical Solutions is designed for you to get better sleep, fast. 

Our body wants to balance itself, and wants to heal, it just needs a little help every once in a while. It is better to get ahead of your sleep issues, rather than burn the candle at both ends indefinitely.
