What acupuncture treatment addresses is the state of tension between attacks.

What is hard in panic disorder is not only the moment of the attack. The tension of not knowing when it will come again stays in the body, so the chest feels tight, the heart races, the neck and shoulders stiffen, and sleep is poor.

Acupuncture treatment acts directly on this part. We mainly use points on the chest, the inner wrist and the back of the neck, and release the stiffened chest wall and shoulders together.

You can combine it with psychiatric treatment.

However, in this condition acupuncture treatment itself can trigger anxiety. The situation of lying unable to move can feel stifling, so if you tell us in advance we adjust the position and the method. If you are uncomfortable part-way, you can stop at any point.

If this is a first attack, please have cardiac and thyroid testing first.
