AcupunctureAcupuncture is a traditional form of oriental medicine which originated in China and is being practised by doctors all over the world now. Acupuncture treatment consists of inserting very fine needles at specific points on the skin, which are located near nerve endings. This has two effects - first it stimulates specific nerves which transmit electrical impulses via the spinal cord and brain, to the diseased area. Secondly, it stimulates release of chemical substances from brain centres to form the body's own mechanism for pain relief. Please read legal disclaimer |
