Pain
Acupuncture is a widely recognised therapy for pain as it has an analgesic affect by activating the endogenous opioid system
(endogenous endorphins : endogenous beta endorphin)[3] to relieve pain.
There is an increasing amount of evidence highlighting the effect of acupuncture in altering the secretion of neurotransmitters and hormones[3] as well as regulating blood flow through the body. At Zenden we combine Acupuncture, Massage and Herbal Liniments to achieve the best results possible physically and mentally.
