Acupuncture isn’t just about sticking needles in the body—it actually has real effects on how your nervous system works. Here’s how:
📍It helps your body release natural painkillers. When needles are placed in certain spots, your body starts to release endorphins. These feel good chemicals (the same one you make during exercise) help block pain and can leave you feeling relaxed.
📍It balances brain chemicals that affect your mood. Acupuncture can influence important brain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine, which affect how you feel emotionally. That’s why it may help with anxiety, depression, or trouble sleeping.
📍It talks to your nerves in just the right way. The needles activate specific nerve pathways, sending messages from your body to your brain. These signals can calm down overactive pain responses and even influence automatic body functions like heart rate, digestion, or how your body handles stress.
That’s enough of a reason to get regular acupuncture treatments. Don’t ya think? Tap the link in our bio to book your next session 💫
