A Scientific Perspective

Research quoted by the British Medical Acupuncture Society states that Acupuncture stimulates nerves in the skin and muscle and can produce a variety of effects.

We know it increases the body’s release of natural painkillers-endorphin and serotonin in the pain pathways of both the spinal cord and brain. This modifies the way pain signals are received.

But Acupuncture does much more than reduce pain and has a beneficial effect on health. People often notice an improved sense of wellbeing after treatment.

Modern research shows that Acupuncture can affect most of the body’s systems-nervous system, muscle tone, hormone outputs, circulation, antibody production, and allergic responses, as well as respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems.
