About Acupuncture                                    

What is acupuncture 

Acupuncture is a healing technique of inserting and manipulating tiny, thread-width needles into various points on the body to relieve pain or for therapeutic purposes. It is a Chinese healing technique with documented records stretching back for over 3000 years. The theory behind acupuncture (and indeed all of traditional Chinese medicine) is that to treat diseases and chronic disorders, one needs to take a holistic view of the entire body and understand the interactions of the various organs, systems and tissue that comprises our body. 

According to modern scientific research, acupuncture has the following effects on the human body.

1.Neurophysiological Effects: These studies have shown that acupuncture can modulate brain activity, including regions involved in pain perception, emotional processing, and the release of endogenous opioids.

2. Neurotransmitter and Hormonal Effects: Research has suggested that acupuncture may influence the release and balance of various neurotransmitters and hormones in the body. For example, acupuncture has been found to affect the levels of serotonin, dopamine, endorphins, and cortisol, among others, which are involved in pain regulation, mood modulation, and stress response.

3. Inflammatory and Immune Response: Some studies have explored the effects of acupuncture on the immune system and inflammatory processes. Research indicates that acupuncture may have anti-inflammatory effects and can modulate immune responses, potentially influencing conditions such as autoimmune disorders and chronic inflammatory conditions.
