How Acupuncture Works
Post by Carly Samish, LAc, LMT
Acupuncture uses very thin, flexible needles to gently stimulate very specific points to help the body to regain balance. A treatment often uses less than a dozen needles and can reduce pain, increase circulation, release endorphins, calm stress, and strengthen the immune system. Many people experience relaxation and a feeling of well-being as a "side-effect" of acupuncture, as well as improvement in their particular health concern. Acupuncture is safe and comfortable for all ages.
