How Acupuncture Works
Your body has an incredible ability to heal itself,but sometimes, it needs a little extra support to function optimally.
Acupuncture is based on the concept of energy flow (Qi, pronounced “chee”), which moves through the body along pathways called meridians. When Qi becomes blocked or imbalanced, it can lead to pain, stress, and illness.
It helps restore this flow, unlocking your body’s natural healing potential.
Here’s how acupuncture works its magic:
✅ Activates Key Points – Precise needle placement stimulates trigger points, restoring balance and improving circulation.
✅ Boosts Natural Healing – By promoting blood flow, this helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to areas that need repair.
✅ Releases Feel-Good Chemicals – Trigger points help with the release of endorphins and serotonin, reducing pain and elevating mood.
✅ Relaxes the Nervous System – It shifts your body out of “fight or flight” mode, helping you feel calm, centered, and stress-free.
The potential result? A more relaxed, pain-free, and energized you, without medications or invasive treatments.
