The World Health Organization (WHO) references acupuncture as being an effective treatment for the management of many types of pain, both acute and chronic.There are 3 proven mechanisms that explain how acupuncture relieves pain; 1. Gate Theory Once inserted, the needle activates the myelinated nervous system fibers which ultimately stops the pain message from getting to the T-cells in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord (closes the 'Gate'). Therefore the pain message does not transmit to the thalamus/cortex in the brain (these areas normally interpret these messages and make you feel pain)2. Opiate Theory Once inserted, the needle activates the midbrain to release beta-endorphins into the...
