How Does Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture treatment works by stimulating and regulating the energy circulation in related organs. It also activates neuro-hormonal pathways. This will reduce inflammation, reduce pain, and promote healing of the surrounding tissue and makes both the external and internal functions of the human body regain normal conditions.

 

Needles are placed on the acupoints and resulting in the opening of any blockages thus promoting Qi flow.  It also activates the parasympathetic nervous system- in charge of rest and digest. This promotes a relaxed euphoric state and reduces the negative effects of stress. Activating the parasympathetic nervous system helps balance hormones, improve digestion, improve sleep, boost the immune system, relax tight muscles, and allow healing to occur.

Safety

The needles are single-use sterile needles and disposable between treatments. The size of the needles, the inserting depth, and the inserting degree all have special requirements. In the hands of a comprehensively trained acupuncturist, your safety is assured.

How Does It Feel Like?

The needle is ultra-thin which result in painless insertion. You will feel a tingling to no discomfort during your session.
