Losing weight is a journey that requires balance—physically, emotionally, and hormonally. While diet and exercise play a crucial role, many people struggle with metabolic imbalances, cravings, stress-related eating, and hormonal fluctuations that make weight loss difficult.
Acupuncture offers a natural, effective, and scientifically-backed approach to support weight management, helping you achieve your goals in a sustainable way. At Crosby Chiropractic & Acupuncture Centre, we integrate acupuncture and chiropractic care to help patients regulate metabolism, curb cravings, reduce stress, and optimize overall health. Our experienced practitioners are here to support you every step of the way.

How Acupuncture Supports Weight Loss
Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice that stimulates specific points on the body to promote natural healing, balance energy (qi), and regulate key systems like digestion and metabolism. When applied to weight loss, acupuncture can help regulate metabolism by stimulating certain acupuncture points that enhance the function of the thyroid and endocrine system, helping the body burn calories more efficiently.
It can also suppress appetite by balancing hunger-related hormones like ghrelin and leptin, making it easier to manage cravings. Additionally, acupuncture is a powerful tool for reducing stress and emotional eating by naturally lowering cortisol levels, the stress hormone linked to weight gain, particularly around the midsection. By promoting relaxation, acupuncture helps prevent stress-induced overeating.
Another key benefit is improving digestion, which enhances nutrient absorption, reduces bloating, and supports gut health, all of which are essential for sustainable weight loss. Finally, acupuncture plays a role in balancing hormones such as insulin, which is crucial for maintaining stable blood sugar levels and preventing fat storage, particularly for individuals struggling with stubborn belly fat.
Our licensed acupuncturists and chiropractors, including Dr. Jenny Crosby, Dr. Kelly Kadolph, Dr. Meagan Hinzman, Dr. Stan Gross, and Dr. Sabriah Postma, tailor treatments to each patient’s unique needs, ensuring the best possible results.

To get the best results from acupuncture for weight loss, it’s important to stay consistent with your sessions—most patients see the best results with weekly treatments over 6–8 weeks. Combine acupuncture with a healthy lifestyle by focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods and regular movement.
Hydration is key, as proper water intake helps with digestion and fat metabolism. Manage stress with complementary techniques such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. Finally, work closely with your practitioner to track your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
