Understanding Stress and Its Impact on Your Health

Stress is a natural biological response designed to protect us. Historically, our “fight or flight” response helped us survive immediate threats. Today, however, stress is often chronic and ongoing — from demanding careers and family responsibilities to news, technology, and daily pressures.

While short-term stress can improve alertness and motivation, chronic stress can weaken the immune system, disrupt sleep, increase inflammation, and contribute to conditions such as:

• Anxiety and mood imbalance

• Insomnia and fatigue

• Headaches and migraines

• Digestive disorders

• High blood pressure

• Hormonal imbalance

• Muscle tension and chronic pain

Medical research shows prolonged stress can suppress white blood cell activity, lowering immune resistance and increasing susceptibility to illness. Even when stressors are removed, the body may remain in a heightened stress state, depleting the nervous system, adrenal glands, and vital organ function.

If you are searching for natural stress treatment in Pleasanton, CA, acupuncture offers a proven, drug-free solution.

How Acupuncture Helps Relieve Stress

At Eastern Medical Center in Pleasanton, CA, our licensed acupuncturists use time-tested principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to treat stress at its root cause — not just the symptoms.

In TCM, stress often disrupts the smooth flow of Qi (vital energy) through the body’s meridians. When Qi becomes blocked or depleted, organ systems such as the liver, kidneys, and adrenals become imbalanced.

​

Acupuncture works by:

✔ Regulating the nervous system
✔ Lowering cortisol (stress hormone) levels
✔ Improving circulation and oxygenation
✔ Enhancing immune function
✔ Supporting adrenal and kidney health
✔ Promoting deep relaxation and restorative sleep

Many patients report feeling calm, clear-headed, and rejuvenated after treatment.
