How does acupuncture work?
Acupuncture is based on the concept of Qi (pronounced “chee”), the body’s vital energy that flows through pathways called meridians. When Qi becomes blocked or unbalanced, it can lead to pain, illness, or discomfort. Acupuncture restores the natural flow of energy, supporting both physical and mental health. Scientific research suggests that acupuncture also:
- Stimulates the nervous system to release endorphins (natural pain relievers)
- Improves circulation and oxygen delivery to tissues.
- Reduces inflammation and supports the immune system.
- Helps regulate various bodily functions.
