January is the time to fulfill New Year’s resolutions for a healthier body and mind. Acupuncture can help people reach their weight loss goals. Many patients at Many Rivers report that acupuncture helps curb their sugar and fat cravings and makes them feel fuller, faster. A recent study published by the journal “Acupuncture in Medicine” demonstrated that acupuncture created significant reductions in weight and waist circumference over the course of the two month study. Acupuncture can also help individuals stick with their exercise plan. Receiving acupuncture after an intense workout can decrease the feelings of muscle soreness caused by exercise, according to a study published in the “American Journal of Chinese Medicine.” Acupuncture can also be effective at relieving back and shoulder pain caused by shoveling snow and ice during these cold winter months. For those looking to achieve a happier, more peaceful mind, acupuncture can be beneficial as well. Acupuncture is a strong stress-reliever and is helpful for people suffering from depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Many Rivers' highly-trained acupuncturists treat a multitude of health problems, including pain, arthritis, digestive disorders, seasonal allergies and gynecological complaints. Many Rivers is part of the community acupuncture movement, which is working to make health care affordable and accessible. Acupuncture treatments are provided on a sliding scale, from $15 - $35 per treatment (plus a one-time new patient fee of $10). Many Rivers is open Monday through Saturday, with evening appointments available until 7:00 pm Monday through Thursday. The clinic is located at 44 Bloomfield Avenue in Windsor center.
