PROGRESSIVE HEALTH & WELLNESS BLOG: A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF ACUPUNCTURE : Acupuncture works by stimulating the release of endorphins to decrease pain, and speed healing. Traditional Chinese Medicine uses the theory of energy, or “qi”, pronounced “chee”, to explain how acupuncture works. Qi flows through the body via channels called meridians. If the qi flow is altered, the resulting deficiency, excess, or stagnation of qi causes bodily malfunction, illness, and inability to properly heal. Acupuncture, in which needles are inserted into specific points along these meridians, restores the proper qi flow, thereby returning the body to a state of improved health and decreased pain.
