Good health depends on the quality of free flowing energy and blood throughout our bodies pathways, generally referred to as meridians.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"font_8\">This energy and blood flow is easily affected by everyday lifestyle choices, such as sedentary lifestyles (office jobs or lack of exercise), body clock irregularities (shift work) or poor nutritional choices. Health conditions, pain or emotional disturbances can all arise from this impaired free flow of energy resulting in imbalances, blockages, excesses or deficiencies. Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine is effective in restoring the body back to its normal balance and promoting relaxation.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"font_8\">Acupuncture involves the gentle insertion of incredibly fine single use disposable needles. The needles are inserted into different locations on the body\u2019s surface, called Acupoints or meridians. Some needles may produce a gentle sensation and rarely will they create pain. Acupuncture in certain conditions is reported as a safe and cost effective treatment option with no to minimal reported side effects unless performed unsafely.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"wd-negative-gap elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1feed91e elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wd-section-disabled\" data-id=\"1feed91e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-692e8f04\" data-id=\"692e8f04\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-684c0cf0 wd_scroll_y_30 wd-parallax-on-scroll wd_scroll_smoothness_30 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wd_title\" data-id=\"684c0cf0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wd_title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title-wrapper set-mb-s reset-last-child wd-title-color-primary wd-title-style-default wd-title-size-large text-left\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title-subtitle subtitle-color-primary subtitle-style-default wd-fontsize-xs\">\n\t\t\t\t\tLife Synergy\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"liner-continer\">\n\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"woodmart-title-container title wd-fontsize-xxl wd-underline-colored\">How Does <u> Acupuncture Work?<\/u> <\/h4> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-598121e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wd_text_block\" data-id=\"598121e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wd_text_block.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-text-block reset-last-child text-left\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"font_8\">A large amount of research has been conducted to investigate how acupuncture works at a physiological level. The areas which have been studied most are the effects of acupuncture in relieving pain and inflammation. However many other physiological effects of acupuncture have been identified including modifying cardiovascular functions, gastric acidity and motility, bladder pressure, as well as many other actions.<\/p><p class=\"font_8\">Among the most common actions of acupuncture is regulating the balance between the sympathetic (fight and flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous systems. Increasing parasympathetic activation produces relaxation, reduced heart rate and blood pressure, improved sleep patterns and enhanced digestion.<\/p><p class=\"font_8\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-79ea753f\" data-id=\"79ea753f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"wd-negative-gap elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d93cc3f elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wd-section-disabled\" data-id=\"d93cc3f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-eff36ca\" data-id=\"eff36ca\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be7d251 wd_scroll_y_30 wd-parallax-on-scroll wd_scroll_smoothness_30 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wd_title\" data-id=\"be7d251\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wd_title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title-wrapper set-mb-s reset-last-child wd-title-color-primary wd-title-style-default wd-title-size-large text-left\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title-subtitle subtitle-color-primary subtitle-style-default wd-fontsize-xs\">\n\t\t\t\t\tLife Synergy\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"liner-continer\">\n\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"woodmart-title-container title wd-fontsize-xxl wd-underline-colored\">How does acupuncture<u>  relieve pain?

When an acupuncture point is stimulated (for example on the hand or foot) a signal travels up the spine to the brain stem and brain where a series of interactions are triggered between particular brain centres. This is known as the \u201cmesolimbic loop of acupuncture analgesia\u201d and involves numerous brain centres and mediators including serotonin, dopamine, noradrenalin and endogenous opioids such as endorphins, enkephalins, dynorphins and endomorphins. To date over 30 chemical mediators have been identified as participants in this process. The completion of the mesolimbic loop then triggers another signal which descends to the dorsal horn of the spine producing a pain relieving effect. For those who are interested in the details of the physiology, a number of excellent review articles have been published in recent years.<\/p><p class=\"font_8\">Zhang et al 2014 \u2013 Mechanisms of acupuncture in persistent pain.<\/p><p class=\"font_8\">Murwillumabah Acupuncture have a special interest and passion in assisting patients who suffer from:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"wd-negative-gap elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-f5ad6d6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wd-section-disabled\" data-id=\"f5ad6d6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-31c230f\" data-id=\"31c230f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a760fb elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"4a760fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/www.murwillumbahacupuncture.com.au\/wp-content\/plugins\/elementor\/assets\/css\/widget-icon-list.min.css\">\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-check-double\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Stress, Anxiety and Depression<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-check-double\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Women's Health Conditions<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-check-double\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Fatigue and Immune support<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-check-double\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Digestive Conditions<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-check-double\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Pain and Musculoskeletal Conditions<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2eb596 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wd_text_block\" data-id=\"f2eb596\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wd_text_block.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-text-block reset-last-child text-left\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"font_8\">We are currently taking bookings for Acupuncture and Remedial massage in Murwillumbah.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"font_8\">If you have any questions about Acupuncture, please don't hesitate to contact us on\u00a0<span class=\"color_30\"><em><strong>0417 724 739<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"font_8\">Or <a href=\"#\"><strong>book<\/strong> <\/a>an appointment today.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dafbad2 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"dafbad2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Life Synergy What is Acupuncture?
