How Acupuncture Relieves Pain
Releases Natural Painkillers
Acupuncture triggers the release of endorphins — your body's natural pain-relieving chemicals.
Reduces Inflammation
Studies show acupuncture decreases inflammatory markers, helping with both acute and chronic pain.
Improves Blood Flow
Enhanced circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues, speeding recovery.
Relaxes Muscle Tension
Needles placed in trigger points release chronic muscle tightness and spasm.
