How acupuncture relieves your pain
The mechanisms behind acupuncture have caught the interest to researchers for a long time. In recent decades, advances in technology and better knowledge and understanding of the human body have allowed us to identify some of the mechanisms that explain the effectiveness of acupuncture. Although there is still much to learn and discover about the action of acupuncture and the human body in general, today we have several pieces of information that allow us to better understand what happens during an acupuncture treatment. We know, among other things, that acupuncture acts on:
-
A number of opiate receptors in the body and improves the sensitivity of the opiate nervous system.
-
A number of products secreted by the body that are involved in the regulation of pain in ATP and adenosine, GABA and substance P.
-
The spinal cord, by the gate control mechanism.
Why is our approach so effective?
