| Acupuncture treatment helps reduce stress by relieving pain and balancing energy.
According to classical Chinese medicine, life energy or Qi is present in all the major organs of the body. When pain is experienced there is a stagnation of Qi.
To release the stagnated Qi and pain, acupuncture selectively stimulates points along the meridian channels on the surface of the body.
Many of these points are near vascular sites or nerve pathways. Once the energy flow is normalized, pain is relieved and health is restored.
Western research suggests that acupuncture works by activating pain-suppressing neuro-chemicals in the brain.
These natural endorphins have an analgesic effect on pain. |
