Simple Explanation for Patients

How Does Acupuncture Work?

01.

Acupuncture Helps Reduce Pain Naturally

When tiny needles are placed on specific points in the body, they stimulate nerves that send signals to the brain.
This triggers the release of natural painkillers like endorphins and serotonin, which help relieve pain and improve mood.
Acupuncture also blocks pain signals from reaching the brain, which can help with conditions like back pain, arthritis, and headaches.

02.

Acupuncture Reduces Stress and Improves Sleep

Acupuncture helps calm the nervous system, shifting the body from “fight-or-flight” mode (stress) to “rest-and-heal” mode (relaxation).
This helps lower stress hormones like cortisol, which can improve sleep, digestion, and overall well-being.
Many people feel deeply relaxed during and after acupuncture, which is why it’s great for anxiety, insomnia, and stress relief.

03.

Acupuncture Improves Blood Flow and Healing

Acupuncture helps increase circulation, meaning more oxygen and nutrients reach your muscles and organs.
This speeds up healing, reduces inflammation, and helps with injuries, chronic pain, and even recovery after surgery.
Many athletes and active individuals use acupuncture to help their muscles recover faster.

04.

Acupuncture Balances Hormones and the Immune System

Acupuncture helps regulate hormones, which is why it’s great for menopause, menstrual issues, fertility, and thyroid health.
It also strengthens the immune system, helping the body fight off colds, allergies, and even chronic conditions like autoimmune diseases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most people find acupuncture to be a relaxing experience. The needles are extremely thin—much thinner than a typical medical needle—so you may feel a slight pinch or tingling sensation, but it is generally not painful. Many patients even feel a sense of calm or slight heaviness as the treatment progresses.

What conditions can acupuncture help with?

Acupuncture is commonly used to relieve pain (such as back pain, headaches, and joint pain), stress, anxiety, digestive issues, insomnia, and more. It also supports overall wellness, balancing the body’s energy and enhancing natural healing processes.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies based on the condition being treated and how your body responds. Some patients feel relief after just one session, while chronic conditions may require multiple treatments over weeks or months. During your first visit, we’ll discuss a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Is acupuncture safe?

Yes, acupuncture is very safe when performed by a licensed practitioner. The needles are sterile, single-use, and disposable. Side effects are rare but may include mild bruising or soreness at the needle sites, which usually go away quickly.

What should I expect during my first session?

During your first visit, we’ll go over your health history and concerns. The actual acupuncture session involves lying comfortably while the needles are inserted at specific points on your body. You’ll rest for about 20–30 minutes with the needles in place. Many patients find it deeply relaxing and even fall asleep!

How does acupuncture actually work?

Acupuncture is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which sees the body as an interconnected system of energy pathways, or meridians. When these pathways become blocked or unbalanced, it can lead to pain or illness. Acupuncture helps restore balance by stimulating specific points that influence the nervous system, circulation, and immune response. Modern research suggests acupuncture promotes the release of endorphins, improves blood flow, and regulates the body’s natural healing processes.
