Happy June!

As we move into a few months filled of less work, more vacation, more time spent in the outdoors and plenty of time barbecuing with loved ones it is an excellent time to remember how important it is to stop and just breathe.

Breathing is the action that fuels all of our bodily functions, without which we couldn’t continue living. We find a way to limit and obstruct our breathing, though, which can lead to muscle strain and imbalance, among other things. This strain is particularly evident in the muscles of the neck, shoulders and upper back as well as tightness in the front of the ribcage. There are stretches and exercises we can do for these muscles, but the best remedy is to mindfully take nice, long breaths.

These muscles can be relaxed through massage, exercise and a commitment to proper breathing.

What Can Acupuncture Do For Me?

Acupuncture is an excellent resource for people who choose to quit smoking. Many people have found relief of this habit through a specific protocol called NADA which is used to treat addiction. It consists of tiny needles being inserted into each ear where they remain for 45 minutes. This protocol is repeated 2 or 3 times a week until the habit is broken. If you are looking for a method to help you quit smoking, let me know and we will create a program designed to help you meet your goal.
