What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a time-tested therapeutic method rooted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It involves the insertion of ultra-thin needles into specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points. These points are interconnected along meridians or energy pathways, which TCM believes to be channels that carry the body’s vital energy, or Qi (pronounced “chee”). By stimulating these points, acupuncture aims to regulate the flow of Qi and promote the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

The Science Behind Acupuncture
While acupuncture’s mechanisms are deeply rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, modern research has shed light on the scientific basis of this practice. Acupuncture is believed to work by stimulating the release of endorphins (natural painkillers), promoting blood circulation, and balancing the autonomic nervous system.
Furthermore, numerous studies have shown that acupuncture can modulate the activity of neurotransmitters and hormones, influencing mood, pain perception, and other bodily functions. MRI and ultrasound imaging have revealed that acupuncture can affect the brain’s neural pathways, providing valuable insights into its therapeutic mechanisms.
