Benefits
Pain Relief
Acupuncture is commonly used to alleviate pain, including chronic pain conditions such as back pain, osteoarthritis, and migraines. The insertion of needles is thought to trigger the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.
Stress Reduction
Acupuncture may help reduce stress and promote relaxation. Some studies suggest that it can affect the release of neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine, which play a role in mood regulation.
Improved Sleep
People undergoing treatment have reported improvements in sleep quality. It may help regulate the sleep-wake cycle and reduce insomnia symptoms.
Reduced Inflammation
Acupuncture has been associated with anti-inflammatory effects, which may be beneficial for conditions characterized by inflammation, such as arthritis.
Headache & Migraine Relief
Often used to alleviate headaches and migraines. The precise mechanism is not fully understood, but it may involve the modulation of pain pathways and the release of neurotransmitters.
