Acupuncture can also affect blood pressure, heart rhythm, gastric acid secretion, as well as the production of red and white blood cells.
In addition, acupuncture can also stimulate the release of various hormones that help the body to respond to injury and stress.
Gate Control Theory
According to this theory, pain signals must go through a "gate" when moving from the area of injury to the brain through the spinal cord.
Such as highway, these nerves can only handle a limited number of nerve signals at one time. Pain signal running very slow.
We can produce another signal that moves faster. If you can produce a signal fast enough, it can beat the pain signal.
Acupuncture can produce an effective stimulus to block pain signals from reaching the brain. The result: we never "experienced pain".
theory of Electricity
Body continuously produces a small but detectable electrical. The electric field affects the growth, maturation, and function of several cell types.
Acupuncture points are concentrated in regions of low electrical resistance. Research has shown that there is a relationship between the electromagnetic field in the body and the channels or meridians.
So, this electrical theory of acupuncture suggests that acupuncture works by influencing the body's electromagnetic field.
Acupuncture points have certain electrical properties. By stimulating these points can alter the chemical neurotransmitters in the body.
