How Does Acupuncture Work?
Acupuncture is a technique where a thin, disposable solid needle is inserted into the skin at specific points on the body. The needle may be manipulated by hand or by electrical stimulation. During an acupuncture treatment, the body releases its own morphine-like chemical substances, which strengthens the immune system by reducing inflammation and increasing the body’s natural resistance to diseases.
