How Does ACUPUNCTURE Work? [Acupuncture Treatment For Back Pain, Headaches & More]

When we're looking to bring you into our hybrid model, acupuncture plays an important role. Whether it's a musculoskeletal issue, an internal medicine issue like digestive disorder, or even diabetes, or an autoimmune condition, whether you're coming in with stress, anxiety, depression, these are all things that acupuncture has subspecialties in. And it allows us, as a practice, to help many different people with many different varying conditions. So with acupuncture therapy, what we're really trying to do is initiate your own body's healing response. What do we mean by that? Over time, when you have different health challenges, the body starts to reduce the ability to increase blood flow to an area. It creates inflammation in an area. You may have a reduced amount of nerve conduction flowing through that area. After months or years of going down this road, we need to retrain internally, just like you would if you were going to the gym. So there's a few different ways that acupuncture works within your body's natural healing process. Number one, brainwaves. The time that you're the most creative and the time that you're the most relaxed and healing, but still awake, is when your brain is in an alpha state. Many studies have shown acupuncture to help allow the body to get into that alpha state. The second thing that acupuncture helps with is nerve conduction, and the third thing that it helps with is increasing circulation or decreasing inflammation. This is where your body is hurting. This is what we need to get to the root of, and this is how we're going to start to get there. Acupuncture has been used for millennia, so there are many different specialties that acupuncture can help you with. It doesn't happen right away, but over time with repetition, we essentially retrain the way that these processes are working inside of you, and then you get to do the things that you like to do. Contact us to learn more about how acupuncture can not only help you with the challenge that you're facing now, but can actually help your system and your organs continue to get stronger and healthier over time.
