Depression can often times be as debilitating to a person as an actual physical ailment. Most times, people suffering from depression are prescribed anti-depressants or anti-anxiety medications and then monitored. These medications are increased or changed based upon the patient’s improvement. However, these prescriptions often have potentially severe and unwanted side-effects. Acupuncture has been used for hundreds of years to treat depression in Asian countries, and the United States is starting to adopt those ideas and treatments as well. Dr. David Solecki, of Solecki Chiropractic and Acupuncture, has a high success rate in treating depression with the use of acupuncture therapy in those people who have decided to find a natural alternative to medication.
“Finding an option that can provide results without the potential for unwanted side effects can help relieve stress, which alone can help many symptoms associated with depression. Acupuncture helps get the patient’s blood flowing, creating an overall sense of well being, which helps create healing. It is an amazing tool for people who don’t want to take pills. The body’s ability to heal itself, to make itself better is amazing; acupuncture helps promote that healing,” stated Dr. Solecki.
Anyone suffering from depression is encouraged to schedule a consultation at Solecki Chiropractic and Acupuncture to see if acupuncture would be a good option for them. Dr. Solecki encourages anyone who wants an option other than medications to come into the office to try acupuncture. The office is open a variety of hours and days for scheduling convenience.
