Acupuncture has the unique ability to stimulate specific systems in the body. The gentle nudge of needling at the surface of the body transmits more deeply into the tissue, and this results in improved function in the targeted area and systemically. Acupuncture has been researched extensively with favorable results, and it is increasingly being recognized as a safe treatment option for chronic pain conditions.
Overall findings show acupuncture to be:
- Safe
- Effective
- Evidence-based
- Historically grounded (3,000 years)
- Effects are long-lasting
- Calming
Findings
The understanding of acupuncture’s many mechanisms of action are beginning to emerge in the scientific and health communities. Essentially, acupuncture helps the body in it’s constant work to achieve homeostasis, the physiological state of balance that is necessary for health and wellbeing. There is strong research showing how acupuncture improves functioning in the immune, circulatory and the nervous system. Acupuncture works so well on musculoskeletal injury and chronic pain conditions because it accesses the fascial plane in the soft tissue, making it a unique and valuable modality in the process of repair.
