What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient system of healing developed over thousands of years as part of the traditional medicine of China, Japan, and other Eastern countries. The earliest records of acupuncture date back over 3,000 years and today there are over 3 million practitioners worldwide.
Acupuncture can be used as an alternative to, or in conjunction with, Western Medicine.
How does acupuncture work?
It is not known exactly how acupuncture works. In the last 40 years, Chinese and Western studies have suggested that the insertion of needles at acupuncture points helps release some chemical neurotransmitters in the body, including endorphins. Endorphins are the body's own extremely powerful, natural painkillers which relieve pain and bring about a sense of well being.
You do not need to believe in acupuncture for it to work.
