Treat Insomnia Holistically with Acupuncture

By Aaron Olden, MD, FACP, Owner, Mindful Medicine Rochester

Trouble Sleeping? 

You’re not alone – medical studies estimate that between 15-25% of adults in the United States suffer from insomnia at any given time.

As if that weren’t bad enough, insomnia often occurs in conjunction with psychological disorders and may affect as many as 50-80% of patients in a typical mental health practice.  Sleep problems are particularly common in patients with anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder.

What next?

If you’re experiencing insomnia, it’s important to see a sleep specialist to determine the underlying cause and receive an accurate diagnosis. Complementary therapies such as acupuncture may reduce symptoms but should be used in conjunction with the care of a sleep specialist.
