Practitioners of acupuncture and traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) have been helping people cope with stress for thousands of years. The ancient theories of TCM on how stress affects the organs are similar to those of Western medicine; however, TCM theory & treatment go far beyond treating symptoms & signs.
Along with treating physical & emotional symptoms & signs associated with stress, this ancient medicine addresses the root cause(s) of the problem. One way that stress affects the body is by causing depletion or blockage of Qi, espcially that of the Kidneys & adrenals.
With acupuncture & TCM, the practitioner's job is to support & restore the integrity of the various organs affected & depleted by the stress response, along with evaluating the quality & quantity of Qi.

Acupuncture & Chinese medicine can provide a safe alternative in the effective treatment of fibromyalgia. Along with acupuncture, natural herbal formulas, dietary recommendations & calming exercises can also help promote balance of health.
