How Does Acupuncture/ Chinese Medicine Work?

Sterilized disposal needles (about the size of a human hair) are inserted into specific points on the body. These points activate many normal biological pathways in the body, including the central and peripheral nervous systems, neurotransmitters, hormones, blood components, immune system and musculo-skeletal system. The needles are solid and polished. The rounded edge of the needle pushes the tissue aside, rather than cutting through it.
