In Traditional Chinese Medicine, our bodies have channels of energy that run in regular patterns through the body and over it’s surface. These energy channels are called meridians. Think of them like rivers flowing through the body to irrigate and nourish the tissues.
Any obstruction of these pathways, physical or emotional, can cause pain and discomfort. The needles unblock the obstruction by using the specific acupunture points along the meridians. They re-establish the regular flow of energy along your body’s pathways.
The modern scientific explanation is that needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release feel good chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord and brain.
These chemicals trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body’s own internal regulating system.
The Improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture results in stimulating the body’s natural healing abilities, and in promoting physical and emotional well-being.
