From the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health:
"In a 2018 review, data from 12 studies (8,003 participants) showed acupuncture was more effective than no treatment for back or neck pain, and data from 10 studies (1,963 participants) showed acupuncture was more effective than sham acupuncture. The difference between acupuncture and no treatment was greater than the difference between acupuncture and sham acupuncture. The pain-relieving effect of acupuncture was comparable to that of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).​"

How does acupuncture work?Modern scientific understanding suggests that acupuncture may work by sending electrical signals through our nerves to the brain to release neurotransmitters, hormones, and endorphins. Additionally, acupuncture has been shown to improve blood circulation and reduce inflammation. Acupuncture's effectiveness is further enhanced by its inherent relaxation-inducing properties. The insertion triggers our parasympathetic nervous system, promoting a sense of relaxation in both body and mind. As a result, acupuncture is effective in treating a wide range of conditions, from chronic pain and migraines to anxiety and fertility issues.
