Even though Acupuncture is growing in popularity there still are many people that are skeptical about how it works. The theory behind Acupuncture can be described like this; energy flow in the human body follows distinct pathways called meridians. When energy is flowing freely through these pathways the body remains in it's natural state of health. On the other hand when the energy flow is blocked as a result of trauma, or stress, the energy becomes stagnant and at some point this energy block can manifest itself as pain and disease. Another theory regarding the effectiveness of Acupuncutre demonstrates that Acupuncture produces endorphins which are a natural narcotic substance produced by the body.This reduces pain and leaves the patient with an increased sense of well being.
Acupuncture works by strategically placing very tiny hypodermic needles into the meridians that correspond with the pain or ailment being treated. This in turn opens up the flow of energy, diminishing pain and allowing the body to heal itself naturally. Acupuncture is very safe and and non-invasive. The needles are very thin and are made to only penetrate the skin and top layers of fat. It is a painless treatment and most patients feel extremely relaxed during treatment.
