Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice that uses fine, sterile needles to stimulate healing in the body.

Originating in China and then spreading to Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and now the world, acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to promote and maintain health.

Today, acupuncture has not only these millennia of tradition backing it, but now decades of clinical research showing it is an effective natural treatment for many different health conditions. Acupuncture is one of the most widely recommended treatments in modern medicine.

What Exactly Does Acupuncture Do?

Acupuncture works by stimulating nerve rich areas of skin. This sends signals to the brain to trigger a systemic healing response.

Research shows that acupuncture activates a number of different healing mechanisms within the body:

Acupuncture improves blood flow
Acupuncture releases pain killing neurotransmitters
Acupuncture calms the nervous system
Acupuncture reduces inflammation
Acupuncture regulates immune function
Acupuncture stimulates tissue repair

These combined actions are why acupuncture is so effective for many different conditions, including pain relief, mental and emotional issues, digestive disorders, insomnia, and allergies.

What Can Acupuncture Help With?

Because of its broad effects on the nervous system, blood flow, inflammation, pain signaling, and tissue repair, acupuncture can help many different health conditions.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

You can think of acupuncture as a process of reprogramming the body - resetting and rebooting the nervous system and immune system, to make long lasting improvements in health and functioning.

This means the effect of acupuncture is cumulative, with each treatment building upon the last. The more sessions you have, the longer and deeper the relief you can expect.

For chronic conditions, a series of treatments is needed to achieve lasting relief.

And for best results, acupuncture is often combined with herbal medicine, breathwork, and other Eastern Medicine therapies.

Does Acupuncture Hurt?
What Does Acupuncture Feel Like?

There can be a slight, momentary pinch as acupuncture needles are inserted, but after that there is no discomfort.

Most people experience a feeling of deep relaxation during acupuncture, and many end up falling asleep during their treatment. This is because acupuncture activates the parasympathetic nervous system, the branch of the nervous system associated with rest, digestion, and tissue repair.
