Stress
Acupuncture for Stress and Burnout Relief
If daily stress is leaving you mentally drained, physically tense, or emotionally overwhelmed, you're not alone—and you don’t have to keep pushing through it. At our Maryville clinic, we offer a natural, evidence-based approach to stress relief using acupuncture and holistic therapies that help restore balance and calmness.
Our patients across East Tennessee often come to us after trying medications or conventional treatments without lasting relief. Many are experiencing symptoms like fatigue, insomnia, digestive discomfort, tension headaches, or mood swings—all signs that stress is taking a toll on the body. Acupuncture works by regulating the nervous system, reducing cortisol levels, and supporting the body’s natural ability to reset and recover.
We provide a non-invasive, comfortable treatment experience in a calming environment. Each session is tailored to your unique needs and may also include guidance on lifestyle or wellness habits that further support your emotional resilience and overall well-being.
Our clinic collaborates closely with primary care providers to ensure your care is safe, supportive, and aligned with your broader health goals. If you’re ready to explore a gentler, more sustainable way to manage stress, acupuncture may be the solution you’ve been searching for.
Acupuncture is a complementary therapy and is not intended to replace mental health care, psychiatric treatment, or medical supervision. Please consult your healthcare provider for serious or ongoing emotional distress.

What To Expect During Your Treatment
Your session starts with a conversation about how stress is showing up in your body—trouble sleeping, racing thoughts, or physical tension. We’ll then use acupuncture to guide your body into a relaxed, parasympathetic state, helping reduce cortisol levels and promote calmness. Most clients experience a deep reset during the session, often drifting into a restorative nap known as the “acu-nap.”
