How Does Acupuncture Actually Work? 🙏🏻😌🪡
Most people think acupuncture is just about needles… but what’s really happening is a conversation between your body and your brain.
When a needle is placed, it stimulates the nervous system and that signal is sent up through the nerves to the mid-brain and brainstem, where your body processes pain, stress, and healing responses.
From there, your brain releases natural chemicals like endorphins and serotonin, improves blood flow, and helps regulate inflammation and organ function.
In Chinese Medicine terms, this is also about restoring balance and improving the flow of Qi, so your body can move out of “survival mode” and back into repair mode.
✨ The result?
Less pain, calmer stress responses, better sleep, and improved overall function.
It’s not about forcing the body to change, it’s about reminding it how to heal.
