Stress & Anxiety

Looking for Holistic Options to Treat Stress & Anxiety?

Look no further, here at Cloud 9 Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine we offer holistic methods to successfully treat stress and anxiety.

-Some of our patients come in for stress once the demands of daily life have become too much.

-Some of our patients come in for stress and anxiety during a major life change, such as divorce, a career change, or the loss of a loved one.

-Some have dealt with stress and anxiety for a long time and simply are looking for a different treatment option, including reducing their medication dosage or eliminating medication. (We only assist with this with the patient directly communicating with their pharmacist and their prescribing physician.)

Whether it is chronic or acute, mild or severe, Cloud 9 Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine has natural remedies to assist with managing stress and anxiety.

In addition to acupuncture, we utilize Brain Tap® a new technology that combines a headset of binaural beats and similar techniques to hypnosis, with over 400 customized programs to address different concerns, from anxiety to neuropathy, to insomnia, to PTSD.

Another helpful therapy we offer for stress and anxiety is ATP Resonance BioTherapy™, first developed by NASA, this very specific frequency microcurrent therapy applies two sets of microcurrent, designed to target specific cells involved in medical conditions, like concussions, viral infections, neuropathy, and much more. There are several ATP Programs that help with managing stress and anxiety, by targeting cells in the nervous system to create optimal cellular functioning and help the patient switch their nervous system out of “fight or flight” mode, and more easily shift into “deep relaxation” mode.

O3 Regenerative Therapy™ is also helpful with stress and anxiety because it helps oxygenate the frontal lobe of the brain, thereby reducing inflammation in the brain.

Acupuncture for Rheumatoid Arthritis: How Can It Help?

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the joints. It can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and fatigue. There is no cure for RA, but there are treatments that can help manage the symptoms.

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment that has been used for centuries to treat a variety of conditions, including RA. Acupuncture involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. These points are believed to be connected to the body’s energy pathways, or meridians. When needles are inserted into these points, it is believed that they can help to balance the body’s energy and reduce inflammation.

There is some evidence that acupuncture can be effective in treating RA. A 2018 systematic review of randomized controlled trials found that acupuncture was effective in reducing pain and improving function in people with RA. The review also found that acupuncture was well-tolerated and did not have any serious side effects.

Another study, published in 2019, found that acupuncture combined with conventional RA treatment was more effective than conventional treatment alone in reducing pain and improving function.

The evidence suggests that acupuncture can be an effective treatment for RA. If you are considering acupuncture for RA, it is important to talk to your doctor first. They can help you decide if acupuncture is right for you and can recommend a qualified acupuncturist.
