About this document
Acupuncture Mechanism by widad syairozi is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses the physiology of acupuncture and how it relates to modern neurophysiology. It explains that acupuncture activates A-delta nerve fibers which stimulate the release of endogenous opioids in the central nervous system, producing analgesia. Two key circuits are involved - a segmental circuit activating inhibitory interneurons in the spinal cord, and an extrasegmental circuit projecting to pain modulatory centers in the midbrain and brainstem.
