Metabolism Acupuncture is an ADJUNCT therapy. It is not a panacea or a wonder cure in the treatment of weight control. But, acupuncture is effective in making it easier to lose and maintain that loss if the patient is willing to change their lifestyle.

Acupuncture needles are inserted into specific points on the body and in the ear to release endorphins, which allows the body to relax, making it easier to deal with stress, frustration and anxiety. Those can trigger overeating and bingeing on fattening foods. Also endorphins affect the digestive and hormonal systems, therefore acupuncture can help rebalance the organ systems that are running too fast or in this case too slow.
