Acupuncture in Newmarket

Acupuncture is an ancient and widely revered medical technique that uses the art of precision to carefully and strategically insert fine, sterile needles through the skin at specific pressure points on the body called acupoints. While the procedure looks rather painful, it is pain-free for most people. In fact, a good number of patients find it so relaxing they find themselves falling asleep during sessions.

Acupuncture originated in China over 5,000 years ago. Over the years, some variations of acupuncture have been introduced like laser acupuncture and electro-acupuncture.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

The human body is made up of a network of systems that work together to promote optimum health. There are more than 500 acupoints on the human body. Each of these points triggers a different response from the nervous system, endocrine system, hormonal system, and vascular system. By targeting these points, it’s possible to reprogram an organ in the body that is not functioning well.

Acupuncture points stimulate the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord, and prompt it to release chemicals throughout the body which alter how you experience pain. These chemicals and hormones also impact the self-regulating systems within the body to promote healing both physically and emotionally.

  • Improves Electromagnetic Signals – research shows that acupuncture points conduct electromagnetic signals and simulating these points encourages electromagnetic signals to be transmitted quicker than usual along the pathway. Some studies point to the possibility of these signals triggering biochemicals like endorphins. Cells of the immune system are also stimulated by acupuncture to address injury or disease.
  • Activates Opioid Systems – the release of opioids into the central nervous system during an acupuncture treatment can reduce pain.
  • Influences Brain Chemistry, Sensation, and Involuntary Body Functions – research shows that acupuncture may be effective in changing brain chemistry by altering the release of neurotransmitters and neurohormones. It also influences the area of the central nervous system that is responsible for sensation and involuntary body functions like immune responses, blood pressure, and body temperature.
