How Acupuncture Treat Pain
One theory is that acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers. Endorphins bind to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, reducing pain signals that are transmitted from the body to the brain.
Another theory is that acupuncture stimulates the nervous system to release neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and norepinephrine, which regulate pain and mood. Acupuncture may also activate the body's immune system, promoting healing and reducing inflammation.
​
Recent studies have also shown that acupuncture may activate specific areas of the brain that are involved in pain perception and processing. Functional MRI studies have demonstrated that acupuncture can modulate activity in the limbic system, prefrontal cortex, and other regions of the brain that are associated with pain.
​
Overall, the exact mechanisms by which acupuncture works to relieve pain are still being studied and understood. However, there is increasing evidence that acupuncture can be an effective treatment for various types of pain, including chronic pain conditions such as back pain, arthritis, and headaches.
