Not sure what to get the father figure in your life for Father’s Day? Give them a gift certificate for some acupuncture. From now until Sunday, 6/18/23 you can get the father figure in your life a gift certificate for a stress relief treatment for $50. If they’re afraid of needles, they can elect to experience a 25-minute vibrational sound therapy session.

Here are 3 reasons why you should treat them to acupuncture this Father’ Day.

1) Stress Relief – you have probably been a major cause of their stress over the years. You owe them a little relief. Acupuncture has been shown to reduce cortisol levels not only after the treatment, but also to reduce how much is made when your dad is exposed to stress for days after the treatment..

Stress is responsible for about 70 % of all illnesses and doctor’s visits, so forget the apple, and try some Acupuncture!

2) Pain Relief – you have also been the cause of much of dad’s pain – back pain from driving you to/from and being a spectator or coach at all of your activities, headaches from missed curfews and college tuition, knee pain from taking the stairs when moving you into that new apartment. Acupuncture provides relief from many pain conditions. The American College of Physicians recently updated their guidelines to recommend non-drug therapy such as acupuncture as initial treatment for low back pain.

3) Prevention –   June is Men’s Health Month. According to Dr David Gremillion of the Men’s Health Network, “…on average, American men live sicker and die younger than American women.” East Asian Medicine has thorough, non-invasive diagnostic methods to determine the root cause of many common men’s health concerns, such as digestive, urinary, and cardiovascular symptoms to improve your dad’s quality of life. Encourage dad to keep up with the doctor appointments and also use East Asian medicine to catch minor issues/irritants before they develop into something serious.

The side effects of acupuncture may include a better night’s sleep, mental clarity, more energy, better digestion, and a sense of calm and well-being.
