Acupuncture isn’t just a quick fix for sore muscles — it’s a gentle conversation with your brain.
Studies show that during treatment, areas controlling pain and stress settle into calmer rhythms, while your brain’s autopilot and emotional centres start syncing (Lee et al., Frontiers in Neuroscience).
Your body also releases natural pain-relief chemicals like endorphins and enkephalins — and the points we choose really do make a difference.
This is why people notice more than pain relief: easier breathing, better mood, deeper sleep, and a stress response that finally lets the immune system do its job.
