Why Acupuncture?

8 Reasons to Consider Getting Pricked

GOT ACHES AND PAINS that make you feel like you’ve been put through a blender? Tired of feeling like a zombie going through the motions of living? Well, brace yourself  because acupuncture is here to save the day! Read about the surprising benefits of acupuncture.

1. You’re Already Used to Being Poked and Prodded.

Let’s face it, you get some poking and prodding every time you visit your doctor. But hey, at least with acupuncture, our pokers are hair thin and come with a free relaxation session. It’s like a day at the spa, but instead of a massage and a facial, you get needles in your face and body.

2. Your Friends Will Think You’re Cool.

Needles are the new normal. You’ll be the coolest kid on the block when your friends find out that you’re going to get acupuncture. They’ll either think you’re cool or a masochistic goofball. Either way, it’s a great conversation starter.

3. Feel Like a Real Life Voodoo Doll.

Believe it or not, the sensation of acupuncture is weirdly satisfying. Imagine knowing how it feels to be a real-life voodoo doll. But seriously, one always feels a sense of well being after being pricked with those tiny needles.

4. It’s Like an Instant Mini-Vacation. 

A 20 to 60 minute acupuncture session gives you plenty of time to doze off and catch some quality Z’s or mentally escape to your happy place.

5. Your Body Will Love You for It. 

Acupuncture has been known to boost one’s immune system, improve digestion, reduce stress and even help with those nasty aches and pains. But hey, even if you don’t like it, you’ll still get a good and relaxing nap out of it.

6. You’ll Automatically Be a Member of a 2,500-Year-Old Club.

Join a time-honored tradition and be a part of a long-standing historical practice. Acupuncture, a traditional Chinese medicine technique has a rich history that spans over 2,500 years. 

7. It’s Cheaper Than Going to a Therapist  (and Less Judgy).

Acupuncture is a cost-effective alternative to therapy. Going to a therapist can be pricey. Acupuncture, on the other hand, is like a therapy session minus the judgment.

8. Your Instagram and Facebook Followers Will Be Green With Envy.

Share your wellness journey. “Hey, look at me getting acupuncture! #loveyourself #selfcare #wellness ” Bring on the likes and comments.

Seriously, acupuncture has real benefits. From pain relief to stress reduction, it’s worth considering. So give it a shot (or should I say, a prick?). Your body will thank you.  What’s the worst that could happen? You falling asleep, drooling on the table and waking up feeling relaxed and refreshed? Sounds like a win-win.
