Treatment for Chronic Fatigue at Body Zest

At Body Zest, we understand how chronic fatigue can affect your quality of life. Chronic fatigue is a condition that causes ongoing fatigue and tiredness that isn't improved by rest. In this article, we'll discuss what chronic fatigue is, who often suffers from it, and how acupuncture can help.

What is Chronic Fatigue?

Chronic fatigue is a complex condition that is not fully understood. It is characterized by ongoing tiredness/malaise/sluggishness that lasts for six months or longer and is not improved by rest. In addition to fatigue, chronic fatigue can cause symptoms such as headaches, muscle and joint pain, and difficulty concentrating. Other causes of these symptoms need to be ruled out before chronic fatigue can be diagnosed.

Who Often Suffers from Chronic Fatigue?

Chronic fatigue can affect anyone, but it is most common in women in their 40s and 50s. The exact causes of chronic fatigue are not known, but it may be related to issues such as viral infections, immune system problems, hormonal imbalances and stress.

How Acupuncture Can Help

Acupuncture is a complementary therapy that can help relieve the symptoms of chronic fatigue. Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body. These points correspond to energy pathways in the body called meridians. Acupuncture is believed to help restore balance to the body's energy flow and promote self-healing.
