What Is Acupuncture and How Can It Help You?
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin, sterile needles into specific points within muscles and connective tissue. These points are chosen based on physical findings such as muscle tension, referred pain patterns, and postural asymmetry. At Gelley Chiropractic Office, our acupuncture treatments in Winnipeg are grounded in anatomy and physiology.
Physiological effects of acupuncture may include:
- Release of endogenous opioids (e.g., endorphins, enkephalins), which are our body's pain killers that reduce pain perception
- Deactivation of trigger points in overactive or contracted muscle tissue
- Inhibition of substance P, a neurochemical involved in transmitting pain signals
- Modulation of nerve signaling within the spinal cord and central nervous system
- Improved local blood flow and soft tissue response
These responses help patients experience relief from a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.
