If you are searching for natural acupuncture for depression in Edina, our clinic is here to help. Like many people looking for a natural, sustainable way to lift the heavy fog of depression, she wondered if acupuncture could actually help.
The short answer is: yes.
Natural Emotional Wellness Treatment
From a modern, Western perspective, acupuncture points stimulate the central nervous system. This process releases natural chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain, regulating mood and promoting the body’s innate healing abilities. Recognized globally for its clinical effectiveness, acupuncture is a proven, drug-free approach to managing the nervous system, anxiety, and the physical fatigue that comes with them.
While depression often causes heavy physical fatigue, it can also completely disrupt your body’s natural rest cycles. If you find yourself exhausted but unable to stay asleep, learn more about our approach to effective acupuncture for insomnia.
The Complete Oriental Medical Care Difference
At Complete Oriental Medical Care in Edina, treatments are led by Steven Sonmore, L.Ac., a Licensed Acupuncturist with over 30 years of clinical experience.
We utilize a highly effective and long-lasting technique known as the Balance Method. Compared to standard acupuncture approaches, the Balance Method delivers faster, more reliable, and more immediate results.
What makes the Balance Method different?
-
Fast Relief: While depression can be stubborn, the Balance Method typically initiates a sense of calm and relief much faster than standard approaches. Patients often notice fewer “bad days” early in their treatment series as the body begins to regulate.
-
Non-Intrusive: Needles are only inserted on the arms (from the elbows to the fingers), the legs (from the knees to the toes), and on the scalp and ears. There is no need to undress.
-
Deeply Restorative: The acupuncture for depression treatments are incredibly relaxing. Following a session, patients report feeling significantly less stressed, more grounded, and better equipped to process and overcome depressive thoughts.
❝“Prior to my acupuncture treatments I was depressed with no energy or zest for life. Within 5 weeks of treatments I now have the energy to run around Lake Harriet (3 miles) without the need to stop and catch my breath. I’ve noticed physical changes in my body such as no more swelling in my ankles. Most importantly I’m noticing the beauty around me and again appreciate life as the depression has left.”
– Jenny Halloran
