What Is Acupuncture? 

Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of Chinese medicine still used in modern times. The actual act of acupuncture involves the process of inserting thin needles into areas of the body which help to balance the body's flow of energy. In Chinese medicine, the body's natural flow of energy is referred to as "Qi." Acupuncture has been proven to provide pain relief and relief from tension and pressure using various applications and for multiple conditions. 

What Is the Mechanism of Action behind Acupuncture?

Acupuncture helps simulate various areas of the body. When stimulation occurs, an individual will experience:

  • Reduced inflammation: Reduced inflammation will provide relief from pain and discomfort while promoting the natural circulation of blood. 
  • Function: Improved function and increased blood circulation is extremely beneficial for the whole body.
  • Endorphins: Endorphins will be produced at a much faster rate with proper acupuncture sessions, helping to expedite the body's natural painkilling and healing processes.

What Can Acupuncture Treat?

Acupuncture is known to treat and provide relief for a range of conditions, including the following:

  • Chronic Pain: Chronic neck, back, or even joint pain may be alleviated via acupuncture. Headaches and migraines can also be remedied with consistent acupuncture sessions. 
  • Musculoskeletal Problems: Issues with muscle spasms, arthritis, degenerative conditions, and even sciatic nerve inflammation may be alleviated with acupuncture.
  • Digestive Troubles: IBS, constipation, and acid reflux may be treated with acupuncture.
  • Respiratory Conditions: Sinusitis, asthma, and even allergies may be alleviated with acupuncture. 
  • Reproductive Benefits: Women may find relief from menstrual cramps and menopause symptoms with acupuncture sessions.
