Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique involving the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body. It works by stimulating these points to promote the flow of energy (Qi) and restore balance. The needles trigger the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, and influence the nervous system to alleviate pain and promote overall well-being.
