Sleeping and Insomnia

Insomnia Treatment

The definition of insomnia, according to the American Sleep Disorders Association (ASDA), is difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. If it occurs every night or most nights for an extended time, it is called chronic insomnia.

Perhaps the most important point to realize about insomnia is that it is not a disease, but rather a symptom. This symptom can occur with many different types of illnesses or conditions. In the majority of cases, underlying causes exist for the insomnia.

By relieving pain and anxiety, acupuncture will almost always eliminate insomnia.

Acupuncture treatment for insomnia can be given along with treatment for other conditions that may be causative factors in insomnia.
