Quality sleep is foundational to health in Chinese Medicine philosophy, and disrupted sleep is always understood as a signal of deeper imbalance. Our team at Rozelle Acupuncture takes a whole-person approach to diagnosing and treating sleep disorders.
Acupuncture has been shown to help with insomnia by calming the nervous system, regulating cortisol and melatonin levels, and addressing the underlying patterns (whether anxiety, chronic pain, hormonal imbalance, or digestive disturbance) that are keeping you awake.
We treat a range of sleep conditions including: difficulty falling asleep, waking frequently during the night, early morning waking, restless sleep and vivid dreams, sleep related to anxiety or stress, and insomnia associated with hormonal changes such as menopause.
Our treatment approach combines acupuncture with Chinese herbal medicine, and may include practical guidance on sleep hygiene and lifestyle factors. Some patients report improvements in sleep quality over a course of treatment.
