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.

I’m 46 and had been trying to conceive for years. After being told by several specialists I needed IVF with a donor egg, I turned to acupuncture in Atlanta for fertility and found Dr. Yu Kang.She created a personalized plan that included acupuncture, cupping, herbal medicine, and guidance on diet and lifestyle. She also taught me simple things I could do at home, like meditation, soaking my feet in hot ginger water, and using moxa. Dr. Kang is not only knowledgeable, but also very caring and encouraging, with a gentle touch that helped me stay hopeful throughout the process.After about a year and two months, I was able to get pregnant naturally. She also supported me during pregnancy and helped with back pain and swelling.Now I have a healthy son who is almost one. I am truly grateful and highly recommend Dr. Yu Kang to anyone struggling with fertility or looking for a more natural, holistic approach.
