Ever wonder whatβs actually happening the moment an acupuncture needle goes in? π
Itβs not just a needle. It can trigger a real physiological response. Your body releases adenosine, a natural pain relieving compound, right at the site of insertion. At the same time, your brain can release natural pain relieving chemicals like endorphins and enkephalins, while your nervous system may begin to calm from the heightened, sensitized state that can come with persistent pain.
Acupuncture isnβt just about where the needle goes. Itβs about how your body responds.
