How Does Acupuncture Work?
Acupuncture is a treatment to manage disease and condition by stimulating body points (acupuncture points) using pre-sterilized, disposable, single-use, filiform needles. Numerous biochemical and neurological mechanisms for acupuncture’s actions have been identified. These include the release of various neurotransmitters and modulation of chemicals that influence pain such as bradykinin, enkephalins, dynorphins, Substance P., dopamine, GABA, nitric oxide, and serotonin. 1. 2.
