Experience

It is believed that acupuncture for headaches can be completely cured with the expert advice of an acupuncturist. A few studies reveal that acupuncture has a deep connection with neuroscience. Acupuncture points are thought to be a stimulus for muscles, nerves, and connective tissues. The stimulation boosts blood flow and even allows the body's natural response to pain killers. As per Chinese conventions of medical treatments, good health is the outcome of a harmonious balance of the complementary opposites of life energy. These extremes are "qi," pronounced "chi." It is stated that an ailment is the result of a physical imbalance. Qi circulates through the human body's meridians or passages. As many as 350 acupuncture sites on the body provide access to these meridians and energy pathways. However, there is no scientific confirmation that the meridians or acupuncture points do exist. Therefore, it is difficult to establish whether the said treatment is successful or not.
