How Does Acupuncture Work?

Modulating Neural Activity: Acupuncture might help reduce pain by calming down the nerves that send pain signals. It does this by decreasing the activity of certain cells that trigger pain and inflammation.
Releasing Natural Painkillers: Acupuncture can trigger your body to release its own natural painkillers, like endorphins. Using electro-acupuncture, which adds gentle electrical stimulation, can affect which pain-relieving chemicals your body releases.
Activating the Body’s Pain Control System: Acupuncture may boost your body’s ability to control pain by increasing levels of chemicals like serotonin and norepinephrine, which help reduce the feeling of pain.’
Improving Blood Flow and Reducing Inflammation: By stimulating specific points, acupuncture can improve blood flow and reduce inflammation, which can both help relieve pain.
