Acupuncture: What is it and what should I expect?
Acupuncture decreases muscle spam and resets nerve functioning. This is done by inserting needles and electrical stimulation at very precise acupuncture points. Watch a full explanation of what to expect by Dr. Billings.
How does acupuncture work?
The modern scientific explanation is that needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will either change the experience of pain, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body's own internal regulating system. Watch acupuncture for knee pain in practice by Dr. Billings.
The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture results in proper muscle, nerve functioning and promotes physical and emotional well-being
