How does Acupuncture Work?
Everything is made of energy. The ancient Chinese called this energy “qi’. Qi travels through the body along pathways called meridians. As long as free flow of “qi” is maintained in the circuits of the body, a person remains healthy. However, once there is a blockage of energy in one or more of the pathways, the system is disrupted and illness occurs.
Acupuncture is the practice of inserting needles into specific points along the meridian pathways. Acupuncture works by regulating qi flow and restoring the energetic circuitry system of the body. In essence, acupuncture assists the body in it’s own process of self-healing.
Acupuncture is relatively painless. Treatment with acupuncture is well known for it’s effectiveness in treating chronic pain. Many people are unaware, however, of the many applications of acupuncture. Acupuncture can effectively treat almost any condition.

What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the practice of inserting needles into specific points on the body. These points are located at particular sites along energetic pathways called meridians, which traverse the entire length of the body. The Chinese concept of “qi’ energy in reference to health is that as long as free flow of “qi” is maintained in the circuits of the body, a person remains healthy. However, once there is a blockage of energy in one or more of the pathways, the system is disrupted and illness occurs. Acupuncture works by regulating qi flow and restoring the energetic circuitry system of the body.
The meridians in the body are associated with either yin or yang, and sometimes bear the names of the five element organs they are associated with. For instance, there is a liver meridian, a kidney meridian, and a spleen meridian, which are all yin meridians. Because the twelve primary meridians relate to the five element organs, they also are associated with the emotions, mental aspects, and all other aspect of the particular element they belong to. The meridian system also relates to the Bagua and the way energy changes and moves through the Bagua system. For example the Bagua teaches us that opposites balance each other, so to treat pain in the right knee, we might decide to put needles in associated points in the left elbow. Acupuncture is a very practical method of adjusting the energetic circuitry in the body. By inserting metallic energetic conductors (needles) we stimulate nerve and inflammation response to move and balance bioenergy. Skilled acupuncture practitioners utilize yin and yang theory, five element theory, and Bagua methods to bring balance to the whole of the energetic system.
More and more hospitals and Western medical doctors are embracing acupuncture as a valuable method for healing. Many people, however, are still not aware of the various applications of acupuncture for the treatment and prevention of a multitude of health conditions.

Acupuncture and pain relief - Discover how it really works
Thursday, September 15, 2011 by: James Schreiber
(NaturalNews) Let's be real here: Attending frequently with chronic low back pain can be distressing for both patient and doctor. Because conventional treatment options tend to be ineffective and limited, many sufferers now seek help from licensed acupuncturists, who have repeatedly provided the safest, quickest, and most effective treatment available. The secret to its effectiveness, however, lies in our brain.
It's common knowledge that acupuncture relieves pain and treats migraines, but until recently, we didn't know why - the mechanisms of acupuncture responsible for pain reduction were unclear. Dr. Aziz Asghar and his colleagues at the University of York and the Hull York Medical School discovered that it may be because of acupuncture's ability to deactivate areas in the brain associated with the processing of pain.
Their 2010 study, published in Brain Research, revealed that patients receiving acupuncture treatment experience a sensation known as "deqi", which triggers changes in certain neural structures, leading to the aforementioned brain deactivations. "The results are fascinating," says Asghar, who believes that the new research will help raise awareness of acupuncture as a widely accepted treatment option for patients with various ailments. "Whether such brain deactivations constitute a mechanism which underlies or contributes to the therapeutic effect of acupuncture is an intriguing possibility which requires further research," he adds.
Coping with Pain through Acupuncture
Another study, presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, confirmed the beneficial impact of acupuncture on reducing pain. Researchers in Germany utilized functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to compare 18 individuals, who agreed to take part in the study, to determine how the brain processes pain with and without acupuncture.
During the fMRI sessions, scientists captured pictures of the brain while patients were exposed to an external pain stimulus. The interesting part? The obtained data revealed that significantly reduced was not only the pain perception, but the patient's expectation of pain, too.
"Activation of brain areas involved in pain perception was significantly reduced or modulated under acupuncture," explained Dr. Nina Theysohn, who led the research at University Hospital in Essen. "Our findings support that both these nonspecific and specific mechanisms exist, suggesting that acupuncture can help relieve pain."
