If you have given every weight loss diet or fad a try with no res
ults don’t give up hope. Acupuncture can help with your weight loss goals. It isn’t a miracle worker but it can help boost your metabolism and increase circulation in the body (better blood and oxygen keeps the body healthy). Acupuncture effects every major system of our body and can even lower insulin and lipid levels in the blood. I utilize a balance method on patients trying to lose weight. Patients will find their cravings for sweets and carbs are reduced and even notice a decrease in their appetite. I will even use electrical stimulation on the abdomen to help tighten the stomach muscles and shrink the stomach.
Although acupuncture is a wonderful option for helping with weight loss, the treatments alone will not result in permanent weight loss. Patients still need a proper diet full of fresh fruits and vegetables (limit processed foods and strive for organic) and exercise.
If you are finding your weight loss has plateaued, it might be time for your body to get a tune up. Acupuncture can help get the body functioning smoothly and help you drop those extra pounds. Call today for a consult or to set up and appointment!
