Why Acupuncture?
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years. Today it is used in 113 countries worldwide. The placebo effect has been ruled out long ago, namely by the mere fact that it works on animals.
So what does it actually do?
1
Pain Relief and Inflammation Control
Acupuncture helps relieve pain by stimulating nerves, muscles, and connective tissue, which triggers the release of endorphins and natural painkillers. It also promotes blood flow and reduces inflammation, making it effective for conditions like back pain, arthritis, headaches, and muscle tension. Research shows that acupuncture can modulate pain signals in the brain, leading to both immediate and lasting relief.
2
Nervous System Regulation
By influencing the autonomic nervous system, acupuncture helps the body shift from “fight or flight” mode to “rest and repair.” This promotes relaxation, lowers heart rate and blood pressure, and supports recovery from stress-related disorders. Studies show that acupuncture can help regulate neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, improving overall emotional stability.
3
Mental Health and Sleep Benefits
Acupuncture is commonly used to manage anxiety, depression, and insomnia. It balances activity in the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and reduces levels of stress hormones like cortisol. This helps patients experience better sleep, calmer mood, and reduced anxiety—often comparable to medication but with fewer side effects.
4
Systemic Health Support
Beyond pain and stress management, acupuncture enhances general wellness by improving immune response, digestion, and hormonal balance. It supports recovery from illness, boosts energy, and promotes homeostasis throughout the body. Many patients use acupuncture preventively to strengthen overall health and resilience.
