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
