Acupuncture treatment in boulder, colorado
Studies show that acupuncture produces its effects by increasing pain-killing biochemicals like endorphins. Acupuncture may also alter the way the brain releases neurotransmitters and hormones. These changes affect involuntary body functions, immune reactions and processes that regulate a person’s blood pressure, blood flow, and body temperature. Acupuncture resets the homeostasis of the body allowing the body to use its own innate ability to heal itself.
Acupuncture theory is based on the flow of Qi in meridians located throughout the body. You can think of Qi as water and meridians as riverbanks. When Qi is stagnant in a specific area, it is like having a “logjam” in a river. The Qi cannot flow past the “dam” and the body’s reaction to this stagnation is pain. Similarly, when there is not enough Qi flowing in a certain meridian, deficiency symptoms such as weakness and fatigue may occur. Acupuncture rids the body of these “logjams” and deficiencies, allowing the Qi to enter into and flow in the meridians smoothly.
Acupuncture assists in healing by affecting the neurovascular system. Acupuncture strategically increases the flow of Qi and blood to areas in the body that have injuries, that are diseased or could benefit from additional nourishment. Increased blood flow nurtures the nerves and tissues by giving them the nutrition necessary to function properly. The tissues of the body are then able to heal or regenerate, restoring the body to a homeostatic state. The acupuncture points targeted during treatment are tailored for each individual based on a Chinese medical diagnosis.
