Stress Management

Chinese medicine views stress not simply as a mental or emotional burden but as a sign that the body’s natural rhythms have become disrupted. When the flow of energy becomes constrained—often due to chronic pressure, emotional overwhelm, poor sleep, or lifestyle imbalance—it can lead to symptoms like irritability, muscle tension, headaches, digestive upset, or a persistent feeling of being “on edge.” Over time, this stuckness can tax the Heart, Liver, and Spleen systems, making it harder for the body to regulate mood, settle the mind, and recover from daily demands. Rather than masking stress, Chinese medicine works to restore harmony and support the body’s built-in capacity to relax and rebalance.

At Golden Crane Acupuncture, we use acupuncture, herbal medicine, and calming hands-on therapies to ease tension, regulate the nervous system, and steady the emotions. Treatments help quiet the mind, soften tight areas of the body, improve sleep quality, and support deeper resilience to daily stressors. Whether you’re experiencing chronic anxiety, burnout, overwhelm, or just need support finding your center again, we create a personalized treatment plan to help you feel grounded, clear, and more like yourself—so you can move through life with greater ease and steadiness.

What a tremendous experience! I came in to Dr. Collins with TMJ issues and after a few treatments, I left with a soul full of gratitude. I struggle with anxiety and he was able to not only focus treatments around that, but he also gave me some tools to manage it all as I continue on my healing journey. He is very kind, understanding, professional, and a healer! Highly recommend.
