How Acupuncture Works
Acupuncture is a medical therapy that supports the body’s natural ability to heal and regulate itself. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture works by restoring the smooth flow of Qi (vital energy) through pathways called meridians. When Qi becomes blocked or depleted, pain, illness, and emotional imbalance can occur. Acupuncture points are chosen to correct these imbalances and restore harmony within the body.
From a biomedical perspective, acupuncture stimulates the nervous system, improving communication between the brain and body. This leads to the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals, reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and regulation of stress hormones. Acupuncture also helps shift the body out of “fight-or-flight” mode and into a state of rest, repair, and recovery.
Although TCM and modern medicine use different language, both describe the same outcome: acupuncture helps regulate the nervous, immune, and hormonal systems so the body can heal more effectively.
