How does modern science explain acupuncture?
Needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord and brain. These chemicals may change how we experience pain. Or, the chemical may trigger release of other chemical and hormones which influence the bodys own internal regulating system. The improved energetic and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture stimulates the bodys natural healing abilities to promote physical and emotional well-being.
