Acupuncture for Anxiety

Treat Anxiety Naturally with Acupuncture in New York!

Patient suffering from anxiety in New York and seeking acupuncture

At Seitai Acupuncture, we use completely natural, drug free and holistic acupuncture treatment methods to help calm anxiety and bring your mind and body energies into harmonious balance.

Acupuncture Effectiveness Widely Acknowledged

Acupuncture is an ancient healing art, rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. Today, Eastern Medicine and acupuncture are recognized by most (formerly skeptical) medical professionals as a helpful adjunct to standard Western medicine. It is also, rightly, accepted as an alternative to drug-based treatments for anxiety (stress, panic or chronic nervousness), physical pain and other ailments.

Avoid Medication (and Side-Effects) with Natural Acupuncture Treatments

Since anxiety medications are notorious for side effects, including drowsiness and the risk of addiction, pursuing natural healing treatments, like acupuncture, to calm your anxiety makes perfect sense. Acupuncture’s wide acceptance as alternative medicine also means that many health insurance plans offer coverage. Our NY acupuncturists accept many health insurance plans to make your treatment very affordable.

Acupuncture Services in New York: What to Expect

Our skilled and experienced acupuncture practitioners use thin needles, which are safe, sterile and disposable, to carry out your acupuncture treatment. Most patients do not feel needle sticks from acupuncture needles during treatment sessions. Any sensations felt (when needles are placed in the skin or gently vibrated) are generally described as pleasurable, stress-reducing and relaxing.

In acupuncture, these very thin needles are used to stimulate specific acupuncture points (also called meridians) that help the body overcome anxiety in a natural way. Acupuncture can also alleviate pain, if necessary. Your acupuncture services are tailored to your unique needs and symptoms.

Anxiety Treatment Methods Offered by Our Acupuncturist in NY

  • Japanese Acupuncture: This method uses the thinnest needles, which penetrate to minimal depth, providing a good introduction for those patients who are new to acupuncture. Moxibustion (burning of the herb mugwort) may be used to warm the skin prior to treatment.
  • Zen Shiatsu: Chinese Shiatsu uses acupuncture points in a different way than other Oriental acupuncture or acupressure. Our acupuncturist observes your responses to gentle abdominal pressure, using this information to guide the treatment session.  
  • Kampo: Our NY acupuncturists practice Japanese herbology, recommending and supplying specific, customized combinations of herbs to provide further anxiety relief to patients. 
  • And more.
