- Acupuncture, in terms of an analogy, works similar

to how an electrical plug is placed into an outlet.

Basically, we're tapping into the body's current.

Your central nervous system relies on electrical impulses,

and so we're basically irrigating this impulse

to the specific area that we're placing the needle to.

So simulating endorphins and serotonin

within your central nervous system

is actually far more effective

than utilizing over-the-counter medications

or even prescription medications,

mainly because it's not habit-forming.

Your own body is producing these chemicals,

and so you don't have a drop-off

in terms of when you're ingesting something.

So there's no chemical dependency there.

Another thing is that it's all natural.

'Cause your body is producing it itself,

it's not a foreign substance that's entering the body

and that doesn't match up with your own body's chemistry.

Hence, some of these pharmaceutical medications

can cause some severe reactions.

And so if your body is able to actually produce it itself,

it can circumvent that whole phase of treatment.

Another thing is acupuncture

can actually help simulate the healing process.

And so unlike pain killers, and narcotics,

and other medications to help deal with pain or discomfort,

those are all more of a temporary fix.

Acupuncture can actually help rehabilitate

and improve degraded areas of your body

that have now worn away or are now causing you pain.
