What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a modality of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin filiform-needles into the body to stimulate nervous system to promote a healing response.
How does acupuncture work?
The body comprises of channels that link the muscles, sinews, organs, nerves and its vasculature. These channels serve to facilitate the circulation of blood, nutrients, functional hormones, and other necessary biomolecules, all of which Chinese Medicine practitioners call "Qi". Insertion of thin needles into these points stimulates a response that regulates circulation and nerve conduction. This effect creates a healing response that can reduce inflammation, regulate organ function and metabolism, calm the nervous system, and relax muscles and sinews.
Your provider will first assess you to find your body's pattern of disharmony. Once they have discovered it through a combination of real-time physical signs and verbal inquiry, they will develop a treatment strategy to ensure you receive the best results possible.
Some scientifically proven effects include the promoting of healing such as decreasing pain reception, improving circulation to punctured area, and releasing pain-relieving hormones. This, however, is only a generalized explanation of the actual capabilities of acupuncture.
