Dealing with an extra dose of stress these days? You’re not alone. Between balancing work, homeschooling the kids, and other commitments, your stress levels are likely through the roof! What you may not realize is how stress can lead to significant health issues such as high blood pressure, heart conditions, premature aging, and a slew of other conditions. It’s time to get help! At Driven Fit in South Tampa, we can help ease (and manage) your stress levels with effective, chiropractic care treatments such as acupuncture. See how… 

What is Acupuncture? 

Ancient Chinese medicine believes the physical body to be regulated by an energy force called Qi.  

Similar to the circulatory system, Qi moves throughout the body via pathways called meridians. If the body is in a state of good health, it has optimal energy flow, and if the body is in an unbalanced state, it creates energetic blockages.  

Acupuncture promotes the body’s healthy energy flow of Qi and opens the blockages that may lead to physical and emotional disorders. It has been proven by numerous scientific studies to be one of the most viable and effective alternative methods for healing and overall well-being.  

 

Acupuncture is a natural, drug-free treatment for stress! 

How does Acupuncture Treat Stress?  

Stress is your body’s response to handling tough or demanding situations. Your nervous system springs into action and releases hormones that prepare you to either fight or take off i.e. the “fight or flight” response. 

By strategically inserting needles half a millimeter away from a nerve, acupuncture eases stress by releasing endorphins that stimulate the part of the brain that control emotions (including stress and anxiety) and leads to a more balanced Qi.  

Acupuncture offers benefits in other areas that can also reduce stress, some of which include:  

Manage Stress with Acupuncture 

To manage chronic stress and anxiety, people often turn to anti-anxiety medication which can result in negative side effects, such as weight gain, insomnia, dizziness, and more. Acupuncture is an effective and natural method of treating stress which attacks the problem at its roots. Best of all, the symptoms lessen almost immediately!   

At Driven Fit, we are proud to be partnered with Sponaugle Wellness Studio – one of Tampa’s premier chiropractic and natural healing specialists! We focus on creating a total healthy lifestyle at our studio gym.  If you are interested in learning more about acupuncture or would like to schedule a FREE consultation, please click here or call/text team Driven at (813) 440-3016.

I am writing this testimonial with immense gratitude and excitement about the incredible journey I've had with your Run coaching programs, particularly under the guidance of Luis, my run adaptive coach.

Before joining, I was a runner with aspirations of improvement but unsure of where to begin. Luis’s coaching not only provided a structured plan but also instilled confidence in me from day one.
