How Acupuncture Works on Back Pain:

Chinese medicine is a 5000 years old healing modality. Acupuncture involves inserting ultimately thin needles at strategic points of the body. These points are connected by pathways called meridians, which create a flow of energy called Qi (pronounced “chee”). Stimulating these points corrects the imbalance of qi and improve the flow of energy.

Acupuncture simulates the nervous system. This Simulation causes body to  release beneficial chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These natural chemicals either alter the experience of pain or produce bodily changes that promote a sense of well-being.

Acupuncture also help by:

• Triggering body to generate more endorphins which kills pain.
• By boosting body’s immune system to work efficiently.
• Triggering the release of natural opioids. Opioids reduces pain and provides sound sleep.
