5 goede voornemens waar behandeling met acupunctuur bij kan helpen

From exercising more and relaxing more, to quitting smoking and shedding those extra pounds - many people start the new year full of good resolutions. These 5 common resolutions can become a reality with the help of acupuncture. Will you read along?

1. Less stress through acupuncture

Did you know that over half of the Dutch population struggles with stress or stress-related complaints? Therefore, many people aim to relax more and thus experience less stress. Stress alone is quite troublesome and often brings related complaints such as headaches, insomnia, and fatigue. Want to address stress naturally? Acupuncture focuses on restoring the energy balance and removing tension around the organs. Want to know more? Read everything about acupuncture for stress and fatigue here.

2. Losing weight through acupuncture

Perhaps one of the most common resolutions is to lose weight. We don't believe in crash diets, but in a long-term approach focused on good balance and a healthier lifestyle. Acupuncture can promote weight loss in various ways. Which method works best for you entirely depends on the cause of the overweight, the problems you have with losing weight, and your current hormone balance. In the first conversation, we create a customized treatment, aimed at achieving the best results. Read in our previous blog post how losing weight with acupuncture works.

3. Quit smoking through acupuncture

Every year about a million Dutch people attempt to quit smoking. Some succeed, but unfortunately, many people fail to quit smoking permanently. Like other methods to quit smoking, acupuncture is not the magic cure to never crave a cigarette again, but acupuncture is proven to be effective in quitting smoking. How does it work? Treatment with acupuncture reduces the unpleasant withdrawal symptoms that make you reach for a cigarette again. Curious? Read more about quitting smoking through acupuncture here.

4. Better sports performance through acupuncture

Moving more or exercising more requires more than just subscribing to a gym and scheduling some free hours in your agenda. The body has to adapt to new movements and exertions. Besides treating injuries, acupuncture can also help prevent injuries. Acupuncture restores the energy balance, removes blockages, and thereby enables you to exercise in a healthy way. Both for beginner and professional athletes, treatment with acupuncture is advisable. Many people wonder if they can exercise immediately after acupuncture treatment. This is possible, but it is good to take some rest after the treatment and only move lightly. The energy in the body needs to rebalance, so it's better to postpone heavy sports activities until the next day. Read more about acupuncture and sports.

Finally get rid of your headaches with acupuncture

Many people suffer from long-term headaches or migraines. Headaches can have various causes, such as hormonal causes, stress, or muscle tension in the shoulders or neck. When treating headaches with acupuncture, we look at the whole body. The best approach for you depends on the cause and the severity of the symptoms. In 2018, we were able to cure many people of their annoying headache complaints. Will you tackle your headache complaints this year? We are happy to help!
