Lifestyle Repair for Chronic Insomnia — Riverside Acupuncture 1. Evening Wind-Down Ritual (Start by 8:30–9:00 PM) Why: Your system is in a high-cortisol, sympathetic overdrive state. You need to cue safety and slowness. How: Dim the lights in your house by 9 PM. Avoid overhead LEDs — use amber or red bulbs if possible. No screens after 9 PM.

Here we see Acupuncture microstimulation which is a technique that involves the use of very small electrical currents to stimulate specific points on the body, typically the same points used in traditional acupuncture. This technique is often used in physical therapy and rehabilitation to help with muscle recovery. Particularly in cases of overuse injuries like those seen in professional athletes.
See my story to get a feel for what this vibrational treatment looks like in real time!

Here's a brief overview of why, how, and when I use it-

1. **Why**: Overuse injuries can lead to muscle fatigue, inflammation, and pain. Acu stim promotes blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and stimulates the body's natural painkillers. This helps with reinstating muscle activity, aiding recovery and strengthening of weakened muscles.

2. **How**: Acupuncture microstimulation involves the insertion of very thin needles into specific points on the body. These needles are then attached to a device that delivers a small electrical current. The current stimulates the acupuncture point further. The points are chosen depending on the specific symptoms and the muscles that need rehab.

3. **When**: The timing of acupuncture micro stim treatments vary depending on the individual's needs and the nature of their injury. In some cases, treatment may begin shortly after the overuse to help reduce inflammation and promote healing. In other cases, treatment may be used as part of a longer-term program as a preventative measure.

It's important to note that while acupuncture microstimulation can be a helpful tool in muscle rehabilitation, it's typically used as part of a broader treatment plan that may also include physical therapy, rest, and other forms of muscle manipulation. It's also important to work with a qualified practitioner to ensure that the treatment is safe and effective.

I’ve been helping tons of people with this type of therapy recently & I’m going to be posting a lot more about how affective it is! ✨STAY TUNED ✨
