How Does Acupuncture Work?
When needles are inserted into specific points on the body, they stimulate sensory nerves, which send signals to the brain to release endorphins and other neurotransmitters. This process can help reduce pain and inflammation, improve blood flow, and stimulate the body’s natural healing responses. Additionally, acupuncture may modulate the activity of the autonomic nervous system, regulate immune function, and influence various biochemical pathways involved in pain perception and stress response.
