Acupuncture

Acupuncture works by neuromodulation: Needle insertion causes micro trauma to the tissue and leads to a complex series of reactions that stimulate the nervous system.

Acupuncture has been shown to

  • increase blood and lymphatic flow to tissues

  • stimulate nerve function

  • increase the release of neurotransmitters and pain modulators

  • influence inflammatory responses

  • help the release of hormones.
