How Acupuncture Helps with Pain
In Chinese medicine, pain often arises when the flow of qi (energy) and blood becomes blocked or stagnant. By inserting fine needles in specific points, acupuncture helps restore this flow, releasing tension, improving circulation, and easing stiffness.
Modern research supports this understanding, showing that acupuncture can stimulate endorphin release, calm the nervous system, and help regulate the body's response to stress and anxiety.
