How does it work?
Eastern medicine might recognize ideas of bodily energy, such as meridians and qi, but Western culture has its own views on how acupuncture treatment can work.
One of the most popular explanations is that placing needles beneath the skin might signal the brain to release pain-relieving neurotransmitters called enkephalins and endorphins. It may also provide you with the following benefits:
-Stimulating the production of the cortisol hormone, which helps lower inflammation
-Relaxing muscle tone
-Stimulating blood flow
-Regulating the immune system
Note: The exact way acupuncture works is still unclear. But, some healthcare professionals suggest that if a person feels better following treatment, then the treatment is successful, regardless of whether doctors comprehend the procedure.
