During an acupuncture session, our skilled practitioners will carefully insert sterile needles into acupoints on your body. These points correspond to channels or meridians through which Qi flows. By stimulating these points, acupuncture helps to unblock energy pathways, reduce inflammation, and trigger the release of endorphins – the body’s natural painkillers. Acupuncture assists in healing injured areas and restoring balance to the body. Pain and dysfunction are believed to result from blockages or imbalances in the body’s natural energy flow. Through the insertion of acupuncture needles into acupoints, a skilled acupuncturist can help unblock energy flow and promote natural healing.
Acupuncture can change the levels of neurotransmitter and implicate analgesic effects. Also, it affects hormones and the immune system. It can help the body release natural pain killers that not only reduce pain levels, but also bring about a sense of relaxation.
One of the remarkable effects of acupuncture is its capacity to enhance blood circulation in areas of injury. This heightened circulation facilitates the delivery of essential nutrients to tissues, thereby catalyzing the body's innate healing mechanisms.
