Good news for anyone struggling with depression: research shows acupuncture really works. In 18 clinical trials with over 2,800 people, acupuncture eased depressive symptoms better than standard care. About 45% of people felt noticeably better with acupuncture compared to 31% in control groups. And here's a big one—only 3% stopped acupuncture due to side effects, compared to 13% who stopped antidepressants (Chan et al., 2021). How does it help? Acupuncture calms your stress response, supports healthy levels of serotonin and dopamine, and reduces inflammation. Less fight-or-flight, more room to breathe. At A New Day Integrative Health and Wellness, we combine proven research with compassionate care to support your mental health journey.
