Acupuncture

Pain Relief, Recovery & Performance

At Advanced Chiropractic Rehab Center, we believe healing is about more than just reducing pain — it’s about helping you move better, recover faster, and live stronger. Acupuncture is one of the most powerful tools we use to restore balance, relieve pain, and optimize performance, blending time-tested wisdom with modern science.

How Acupuncture Works

Acupuncture uses sterile, hair-thin needles to influence the nervous system and how the body perceives pain. In scientific terms, it modulates different types of pain fibers:

  • A-beta fibers (fast, touch-sensitive fibers): Activating these fibers can block pain signals before they reach the brain, which is why rubbing an area after bumping it often soothes discomfort.
  • A-delta fibers (medium, deep-muscle fibers): These trigger the release of natural painkillers like endorphins, enkephalins, and dynorphins.
  • C fibers (slow, aching pain fibers): Gentle activation here helps the brain suppress chronic pain by overriding ongoing signals and reducing inflammation.

This is how acupuncture creates profound pain relief, calms the nervous system, and supports long-term healing.
