How does acupuncture work?

As you suffer various illnesses and injuries throughout life, your body constantly adjusts in order to minimize damage. Unfortunately, the more your body adjusts, the further you deviate from a state of equilibrium, which is your condition of optimal health. By influencing your body's natural energy, acupuncture helps your body forget old trauma and remember its ideal state of balance.

Metaphorically speaking, acupuncture points represent doorways along corridors of energy in your body. All doors are double-swinging, and during health, are unlocked so energy can come and go without hindrance. Because of illness and/or injury, however, various doors can become locked, impeding the free flow of energy. An energetic traffic jam results, often causing localized pain and disrupting other areas of the body. Acupuncture needles act as keys to unlock those doors, allowing energy to again flow smoothly.
