How Does Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture is a physical medicine with a valid anatomical basis. It
improves the flow of oxygen, nutrients and blood through the
cardiovascular system, nourishing the cells in our bodies.

Acupuncture treats the primary cause of disease, blood stagnation, which
is impaired blood flow in the body. When this occurs the area affected
will not function properly, and will not be able to heal fully until a
healthy flow is restored. Acupuncture works on blood flow by causing
blood vessels to dilate. This in turn helps relieve pain and improve
organ function.

Rigorous scientific research has confirmed that acupuncture promotes the
production of natural healing substances that relieve pain, regulate
nerve transmission, enhance the immune system, regulate hormones and
blood flow, release natural anti-inflammatories, relax muscle spasms,
and elevate mood.

In short, acupuncture stimulates the body`s natural ability to heal
itself.
