According to the theory of Chinese medicine, it is the blockages in the flow of (Qi; the vital bodily energy) that disrupt well-being and lead to illness. By stimulating acupuncture points, practitioners aim to clear up blockages. As a result, patients’ health and vitality are restored.

The latest studies show that acupuncture is affecting the pain mechanism in the body by changing the way the body translates and accepts pain. Other studies show that it increases the release of hormones and neurotransmitters, such as endorphins. Endorphin is a natural analgesic that alleviates pain and promotes a feeling of well-being.
