Is Acupuncture a Good Treatment for Depression?
Acupuncture showed clinically-relevant benefits in reducing the severity of depression at the end of treatment compared to sham acupuncture, usual care, and as an adjunct treatment to anti-depressant medication.
Acupuncture regulates the serotonin and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) levels, which are associated with anxiety.
At Rocky Coast, we use different micro currents or electrical stimulation to help regulate serotonin or dopamine when appropriate. We can also recommend herbs or supplements to help in conjunction with our treatments.
