How Acupuncture Works

NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION

Your body is constantly responding to your environment and more often than not, your environment is sending you into a chronic stress response. This chronic stress response causes you to shift your energy away from proper digestion, detoxification, and hormone balance and towards increased muscle tension, hyper-awareness, and impaired circulation.

Acupuncture works directly on your nervous system to unwind these effects of chronic stress exposure and reactivate your parasympathetic nervous system to return your body’s focus to proper digestion, hormonal patterns that support fertility, efficient detoxification and elimination, and a relaxed body and mind.

THE SPECIFIC EFFECTS OF ACUPUNCTURE INCLUDE:

  • Release of Endorphins - your body’s natural pain killers

  • Neuromodulation to interrupt pain pathways and reduce the intensity of pain

  • Cytokine regulation to reduce inflammation

  • Improved blood flow and circulation to enhance delivery of nutrients and oxygen throughout your body

  • Modulation of the autonomic nervous system to balance your Fight or Flight and Rest and Digest responses

  • Promotion of neurotransmitter release to improve mood

  • Relaxation of muscle tension

  • Reduction of cortisol production
