Imagine shaking up a snowglobe and watching the snow fall on the little world inside it.
Got that?
Okay, let’s say your body is the snowglobe and the world inside is your muscles, memory cells, and neurons. Balance-method acupuncture sends a message to your brain that its world is being turned upside down.
After this inner world gets shaken up, its tendency is to fall back into its old pattern. But the acupuncture treatment has cleared away the sludge to allow for new patterns to form.
In other words, acupuncture starts carving new paths for your inner snow!
A course of treatments will help reset you to a new, healthier, more resilient normal. (Yumm, YES PLEASE)
To put this in chemical terms, acupuncture triggers the release of biochemicals such as endorphins and enkephalins from the brain and nervous system. These natural proteins are the body’s own morphine, which inhibit pain and produce feelings of euphoria and deep relaxation.
All that, and much more, is what’s happening once the acupuncture needles are in.
