Acute Pain
Acupuncture alleviates acute pain by reducing inflammation that contributes to pain, swelling and tenderness. Acupuncture also stimulates the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. By relaxing the muscles surrounding an injury and improving circulation, acupuncture speeds up the healing process.

Chronic Pain
There are numerous theories on how acupuncture works to heal chronic pain. One explanation is that the needles trigger the body to produce hormones, which suppress inflammation and pain. Acupuncture is thought to raise levels of endorphins, the body’s natural pain killers.

Emotional Health
There is a strong connection between emotional and physical health. Acupuncture releases stress, reduces anxiety, decreases symptoms of depression, lessons pain, and improves sleep. By stimulating endorphins, activating the parasympathetic nervous system, and improving circulation, acupuncture is a powerful tool.

By assisting in regulating immune function, acupuncture is thought to treat the underlying cause of disease by reducing symptoms, speeding up infection healing, and normalizing the body’s immune response.
