What Is It

Acupuncture is a therapy that involves placing very thin, sterile needles at specific points on the body to help relieve pain and support the body’s natural healing responses. In traditional East Asian medicine, these points lie along meridians—pathways described in classic texts such as the Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon)—and treatment is designed to restore balance in the body. Today, acupuncture is practiced worldwide in both traditional and integrative medical settings and is commonly used for musculoskeletal pain, headache disorders, and postoperative nausea. When performed by a properly trained clinician using single‑use sterile needles, acupuncture is considered safe and well‑tolerated.

How It Works

  1. Local biochemical effects: Needling triggers a brief, controlled micro‑inflammatory response with local release of adenosine and other mediators that help dampen pain signaling.

  2. Spinal modulation: Input from the needle stimulus can decrease transmission of nociceptive signals in the dorsal horn (segmental inhibition/gate control), reducing pain perception from the treated region.

  3. Brain/descending inhibition: Acupuncture activates brain pathways that release endogenous opioids and monoamines (e.g., serotonin, norepinephrine), which enhance descending pain inhibition.

  4. Autonomic/vascular effects: Modest shifts in sympathetic–parasympathetic tone and local blood flow may support tissue recovery.

  5. Network‑level changes: Functional MRI studies show modulation of pain‑related brain networks during and after acupuncture, which may relate to changes in pain intensity and affect.
