Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body, often with thin needles, to activate the nervous system, enhance blood flow, and influence the release of pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory substances such as endorphins and cytokines. This process helps regulate physiological functions and supports the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
It’s like giving your body a gentle prod to remind it how to heal itself.
What Does Acupuncture Do?
Acupuncture promotes blood flow by moving blood which contains oxygen, nutrients, immune substances, hormones, and natural pain-killers.
Acupuncture reduces stress by regulating the parasympathetic nervous system to promote restoration and healing.
Acupuncture stimulates the body’s built-in healing mechanisms and supports the body’s ability to restore homeostasis.
Acupuncture releases natural painkillers such as endorphins, norepinephrine and enkephalin, more powerful than morphine.
Acupuncture relaxes shortened muscles to release pressure on joint structures and nerves, to reduce pain, promote blood flow and stimulate healing.
