Great Escape: Acupuncture

Acupuncture is thought to be a treatment for almost any condition, including stress. The procedure promotes Qi, which is the energetic system that maintains health and balance.

Remedy some of your built-up tension by making an appointment with a local acupuncturist.

Millbrae is home to several acupuncture clinics, including (475 El Camino, Millbrae), which specializes in treating stress, among other things. Chinese massages and herbs are available here as well.
