How Acupuncture Works

Neurotransmitter Theory: Acupuncture affects higher brain areas, stimulating the secretion of beta-endorphins and enkephalins in the brain and spinal cord. The release of neurotransmitters influences the immune system and the antinociceptive system.

Autonomic Nervous System Theory: Acupuncture stimulates the release of norepinephrine, acetylcholine and several types of opioids, affecting changes in their turnover rate, normalizing the autonomic nervous system, and reducing pain.

Vascular-interstitial Theory: Acupuncture effects the electrical system of the body by creating or enhancing closed-circuit transport in tissues. This facilitates healing by allowing the transfer of material and electrical energy between normal and injured tissues.

Blood Chemistry Theory: Acupuncture affects the blood concentrations of triglycerides, cholesterol, and phospholipids, suggesting that acupuncture can both raise and diminish peripheral blood components, thereby regulating the body toward homeostasis.

Gate Control Theory: Acupuncture activates non-nociceptive receptors that inhibit the transmission of nociceptive signals in the dorsal horn, “gating out” painful stimuli.

Great experience! I have been visiting Dr. Kang for 3 months and I can tell many positive changes in my energy and mobility.

Dr. Kang gives great advice and easy to follow plan. She is very easy to talk too and shares many relevant examples on how to improve my overall health and well-being.
After 6 weeks of treatment with Dr. Kang, I feel so much better! Came in for back, knee, foot pain, & weight loss. Started regimen of acupuncture, cupping, nutritional change, herbal prescription & I have found more energy, more motivation to exercise. As a result, the pain is much more bearable & in general I am more relaxed and able to do much more. This lifestyle change takes time but I’m glad I found Chinese medicine. I love working with Dr Kang as a team to improve my overall health. My husband says I look much better. I’m going to learn more as a nurse myself about this holistic regimen to improve my health & my family down the road.

I want to tell everyone that has cancer that you need to fight with cancer, by eating healthy, rest, exercise, thinking positively, not letting anyone to scare you that there is no hope. I hate to cry, but it is true that lots of cancer patients were told by the doctors that you need to do chemo, radiation surgery, all these treatment are doing more harm that really helping you to heal. I am speaking from the bottom of my heart, when I came to Dr. Kang March 2025, I had stage four beast cancer, now I am cancer free. Thanks to Dr. Kang and her staff at medical acupuncture nutrition in Decatur ga. I have combined acupuncture, herbs, nutrition, exercise, and mediation to help me to heal.
