What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the use of filiform needles to stimulate therapeutic points on the body.
How does it work?
Many ways. In some cases the needles elicit local immune response and also release neurotransmitters like endorphins. Recently, it was discovered that the acupuncture points send messages across the fascia, the connective tissue that organizes the body, thus producing local and distal therapeutic effect.
