Anxiety hits hard. Racing mind, pounding heart, tense body—sound familiar? At Newport Wellness Group in Newport Beach, CA, we get it. Dr. Shohre Mehvar, OMD, LAc, and Dr. Shabnam Pourhassani, DACM, LAc, QME, FABORM, are experts in one thing: stopping anxiety where it starts. With precise, targeted acupuncture, they’re rewriting the story on anxiety relief. Why settle for “just coping” when there’s a natural solution? Calming Through Connection How does acupuncture calm anxiety? It’s all about connection. Each needle isn’t placed at random—it targets the body’s stress points, creating a flow that releases tension and helps the mind let go. Anxiety has its roots in the nervous system, and acupuncture directly engages this system. Dr. Mehvar and Dr. Pourhassani map out specific points that regulate your body’s stress response, taking you from “fight or flight” to “relax and reset.” Think calm is out of reach? Think again. A Proven Approach to Stress This isn’t guesswork. It’s science. Research shows acupuncture reduces cortisol (the body’s stress hormone) while boosting endorphins, the body’s natural mood lifters. At Newport Wellness Group, we use these findings to bring you a therapy that’s rooted in results. Anxiety isn’t “all in your head”; it’s a physical response. And acupuncture addresses it with precision. What would life feel like with anxiety under control? Designed for You, Every Time No two people experience anxiety in the same way. Newport Wellness Group knows this. Dr. Mehvar and Dr. Pourhassani customize every session, focusing on the unique pressure points that calm your specific symptoms. Whether it’s shallow breathing, restless thoughts, or muscle tension, their approach is tailored to how anxiety shows up for you. This isn’t generic; it’s personal. Ready to see how it feels to have a treatment that’s all about you? The Breath-Body Connection Anxiety doesn’t just hit the mind; it impacts the body. One of the first places you feel it? Your breath. Tension builds, breath shortens, and before you know it, you’re in a full-on anxiety spiral. Acupuncture helps break this loop by promoting deep, steady breathing. By placing needles on points linked to respiratory function, Dr. Mehvar and Dr. Pourhassani help the body shift out of anxiety mode and into calm. Want to feel grounded, centered, and free? It starts here. More Than Just Needles At Newport Wellness Group, acupuncture goes beyond needles. Techniques like ear seeds and cupping are added for a fuller, lasting effect. Ever heard of ear seeds? Tiny beads placed on points in the ear linked to relaxation. They provide an extra layer of calm you can carry with you, even after the session ends. Cupping, on the other hand, uses suction to release physical tension so your body isn’t holding onto stress. It’s acupuncture, enhanced. Curious? Try it and see. Finding Balance with Every Session Anxiety is often a sign of imbalance in the body’s systems. That’s where Newport Wellness Group’s approach shines. By working on points that regulate the nervous system, acupuncture restores balance, easing anxiety from the inside out. It’s not just about relief in the moment; it’s about creating a foundation of calm that you can build on. How would life change if you had that kind of balance every day?
