HOW DOES
ACUPUNCTURE WORK?

A large amount of research has been conducted to investigate how Acupuncture works. Currently, most study focuses on pain relief and inflammation - however both of these categories may influence a variety of health concerns making Acupuncture a possible method of treatment in an extremely diverse range of health concerns. Many other physiological effects of Acupuncture have been identified through careful research including benefits for the digestive system, cardiovascular system, lower back pain, anxiety and migraine to name a few.

Two major actions of Acupuncture are believed to contribute to these health benefits:

1) Regulation of balance between the 'stress' (fight/flight) and 'relaxed' (rest/digest) states of our nervous system.
2) Stimulation of nerve and muscle fibres (trigger points) to produce chemical and physical changes inside our body.

Acupuncture is one of the most widely studied systems of healthcare in the world, and is recognised as an advanced and science-based system of healthcare by many prestigious health institutions around the world.

A wide range of conditions which may be improved using Acupuncture have been and currently are being studied. For more information, please consult the Acupuncture Evidence Project below:
