How Acupuncture Therapy Works
Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points in the body, known as acupoints, to balance the flow of Qi (energy) along meridians. This stimulation activates the body’s natural healing responses, promoting circulation and reducing discomfort.​
​
-
Fine Needle Insertion: Thin needles are inserted into selected acupoints based on the individual’s health needs.​​​​
​​
-
Qi Stimulation: The insertion helps stimulate the flow of Qi, enhancing energy balance and well-being.​
​​
-
Body’s Natural Healing Activation: The process encourages the release of endorphins, alleviating pain and reducing stress.​
​​
-
Enhanced Blood Flow: Acupuncture promotes better blood circulation, aiding in cell repair and toxin removal.​
