| How Acupuncture Works The fine needles are inserted to the points on each of the 14 meridians. In traditional term, the needles stimulate the movement of "Qi"-a conceptual energy substance to reduce the pain and balance body functions. In modern term, acupuncture acts on immune system to reduce local inflammation and acts on brain and nerve system to reduce the pain, stress, anxiety, and to relief other symptoms.
