What else should I know about Acupuncture?

Due to the fact that acupuncture was an ancient method of eastern medicine, people view its process as a pseudoscience, with a semi-majestic intention which makes its effectiveness and efficiency underestimated. However, the mechanism through which this treatment works is yet to be proven, but health practitioners have concluded that it works through some cellular mechanism that helps relieve pains. Acupuncture stimulates pain-relieving chemicals in the body, as well as endorphins and neurotransmitters to activate pain receptors in the brain to lower the amount of pain felt. When these pain-relieving chemicals are discharged into the body, acupuncture needles help lessen the pain and stiffness.
