How Acupuncture Works

Acupuncture needles are inserted into specific points along energetic meridians that run throughout the body, and each of these meridians communicates with one another to promote homeostasis and eliminate disease. In other words, acupuncture heals the body by stimulating specific points on these meridians that can impact biochemical and physiological conditions in the body as well as stimulate sensory receptors. These sensory receptors then signal nerves to transmit impulses to the hypothalamic-pituitary system in the brain where neurotransmitters and endorphins are released, easing pain, promoting healing, and improving immune function. Through this mechanism, acupuncture has the ability to address specific health concerns and help you achieve optimal health and wellbeing.
