Mental Health
Mental Health and the quality of thoughts that occur for each individual person have a strong impact on overall health. If a person struggles with intrusive thoughts or is unable to get a break from an overactive mind it is difficult to be present in the body and experience the day as it is happening rather than being trapped in thought.
People seek out many interventions to mitigate the symptoms of their mental health concern, such as: exercise, medication, supplements, herbal formulas, nutritional changes, improving quality of sleep, etc.
Acupuncture is a valuable treatment method in the treatment of mental health. There are various acupuncture points on the head, ear, scalp, and body that are used for each individuals symptoms.

Depression

Addiction
Addiction has a stigma associated with it and that creates more harm to those who are trying their hardest to overcome their addiction or to begin to start their recovery. Body Rhythm Wellness will always be a judgement free treatment space where people can receive care and be treated with respect. Every person is healing from something and addiction is no different. There is a long history of acupuncture being used to heal communities affected by trauma and addiction. In particular the NADA protocol has been used in many rehabilitation spaces to support recovery from addiction.
Please note if you also struggle with self harm this is included in the area of addition.
A Registered Acupuncturist is unable to give a person a formal diagnosis that they have an addiction. If someone requires additional care to support their recovery other therapies will be advised to ensure each person has the attention they need for their safety and care.
