Acupuncture
Acupuncture works by neuromodulation: Needle insertion causes micro trauma to the tissue and leads to a complex series of reactions that stimulate the nervous system.
Acupuncture has been shown to
increase blood and lymphatic flow to tissues
stimulate nerve function
increase the release of neurotransmitters and pain modulators
influence inflammatory responses
help the release of hormones.
