Acupuncture for Stress-Related Symptoms & Sleep Difficulties
Stress and nervous system overload can affect sleep quality, tension levels, and recovery capacity. Acupuncture can be used as a supportive regulation method in these patterns.
Not psychiatric treatment — nervous system support.
Many patients describe a feeling of nervous system “settling” or improved sleep continuity over the course of a short treatment series.

Treatment Structure
Treatment is delivered in defined four-session blocks, allowing structured reassessment at each checkpoint. Continuation is recommended only when measurable and clinically relevant improvement is observed.
Individual sessions typically last approximately 50–60 minutes and are adapted to the clinical needs of the patient.
Approach is adjusted progressively based on nervous system response and symptom changes.
