Benefits of Acupuncture

Updated: 6 days ago

Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on your body. Acupuncture is based on the belief that your body’s energy, or qi (Blood Flow), flows through channels called meridians.


When your qi (Blood Flow) is balanced and flowing smoothly, you are healthy. When your qi (Blood Flow) is blocked or disrupted, you may experience pain, illness, or emotional distress.


Acupuncture aims to restore your qi balance by stimulating certain points along the meridians. The body responds the the placement of the needles by affecting the nerves and releasing hormones that affects the processing of pain and functioning in the brain, changing blood flow and soft tissue tension where the needles are placed.


The bodies own natural pain relief with positive results from some chronic pain sufferers which is pain that has lasted for longer than 3 months.


Acupuncture can have various benefits for your health and well-being, such as:
