Stimulating the Nervous System: Inserting acupuncture needles into specific points can stimulate the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals can change the experience of pain or trigger the release of other substances and hormones that influence the body’s internal regulating system.

Enhancing Blood Circulation: Acupuncture is believed to increase blood flow to the targeted areas, which can help relieve muscle stiffness and promote healing.

Reducing Pain: By stimulating the body’s pain-relieving mechanisms, acupuncture can help alleviate various types of pain, including chronic pain.

Balancing Energy Flow: According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, health is achieved by maintaining the body’s energy flow in balance. Acupuncture is said to unblock and rebalance the flow of Qi along the meridians, which can help improve health and well-being.

Triggering the Release of Endorphins: Acupuncture can stimulate the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, which can reduce pain and promote a sense of relaxation and well-being.

Improving Body Functions: By stimulating different acupuncture points, acupuncture can contribute to the healing of various physiological systems, enhancing overall health and function.
