how it works

how can acupuncture help with pain?

Acupuncture works by stimulating vital energy and blood circulation in the area of pain and discomfort.  This helps to reduce inflammation and to promote healing.  Acupuncture has also been shown to release endorphins, which are the body’s natural pain killers.  In Chinese medicine it is important to consider the root cause of these conditions, in order to help strengthen the body and to prevent the condition from progressing further.
