Treatments
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture works by stimulating acupuncture points that are located on specific energetic meridians that increase the circulation of “Qi” and blood throughout the body. A great deal of research has been done in recent years to understand how acupuncture works according to Western biomedicine and physiology. This research has shown that acupuncture releases pain-relieving opioids into the central nervous system, increases blood flow to affected or injured areas and releases endorphins and neurotransmitters into the endocrine and nervous systems.
