Acupuncture

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body with ultra-fine needles to promote natural healing and restore balance. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the body has a network of energy pathways, called “meridians,” through which vital energy, or “Qi,” flows. When the flow of Qi becomes blocked or unbalanced, it can lead to illness or pain. Acupuncture aims to restore the smooth flow of Qi by inserting needles at targeted points along these meridians.

From a modern medical perspective, acupuncture is thought to work by stimulating the nervous system. When needles are inserted at specific acupuncture points, they trigger the release of various chemicals, such as endorphins, serotonin, and other neurotransmitters, which help to reduce pain, inflammation, and stress. This process can also stimulate blood circulation, improve immune function, and promote the body’s natural healing processes.

By influencing these biochemical and physiological responses, acupuncture helps improve overall health, alleviate pain, and restore balance in the body, addressing both physical and emotional conditions. It can be used to treat a wide range of issues, including chronic pain, stress, digestive problems, insomnia, and more.
