According to recent reports from National Geographic, numerous studies suggest that the use of fine needles at certain points of the body can help relieve migraines, chronic pain and even acute pain.<\/p>\n<p>Experts say that the effects of acupuncture are not only related to traditional beliefs about the body&#8217;s energy, but also to concrete biological processes. When needles stimulate certain points, they can affect the nervous system and brain, prompting the release of endorphins and other chemicals that help reduce pain.<\/p>\n<p>Brain imaging studies have shown that during acupuncture treatment, areas associated with pain perception and emotional control are activated. This has increased the interest of the scientific community to better understand how this technique works.<\/p>\n<p>However, researchers point out that the exact mechanism has not yet been fully discovered and results may vary from person to person. In some cases, even the positive expectation of the patient towards the treatment can influence the improvement of the symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the debates, acupuncture is increasingly being considered as an alternative with few side effects and relatively low cost, especially when combined with other treatments<\/p>\n<hr style=\"margin:30px 0\">\n<p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#666\">Source: <strong>prizrenpost<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Acupuncture, a thousands-year-old practice of traditional Chinese medicine, is increasingly attracting the attention of scientists as an effective way to manage pain.
