How Does it Work?
Acupuncture works by creating balance in the flow of Qi through energy channels called meridians. The meridian system links all parts of the person and is crucial for the maintenance of harmonious balance. Because the meridians connect the interior of the body with the exterior, treatment of various acupuncture points on the body's surface will influence movement inside the body. Studies have also shown that needling specific points on the body activates the release of the body's natural pain killers as well as anti-inflammatory and feel-good brain chemicals, all of which accelerate the body's innate capacity to self-heal. Actual illness or symptoms of disorders don’t have to be present for individuals to benefit from acupuncture. If you are in good health, acupuncture can build and support your continual well being, and offers you a way to come alive more fully.
