Acupuncture works through neurohormonal pathways. Basically, you put the needles through specific points in the body and stimulate the nerve. The nerve actually sends signals to the brain, and the brain releases neural hormones such as Beta-Endorphins. By doing that, the patient may feel euphoric, or happy, and this increases the pain threshold, and they feel less pain.

Acupuncture works by reducing pro-inflammation markers, or protein in the body. Some animal and human studies suggest that by doing Acupuncture, you can significantly decrease these pro inflammation markers (Including TNF and IL-1 Beta) which decreases inflammation and reduces pain.

Acupuncture can be used to treat nerve damage, such as chemo induced peripheral neuropathy, a condition that often causes numbness or weakness in the feet and hands. The idea is that by putting the needle in, you stimulate the brain to secrete some nerve growth factors, and then that helps the nerves to regenerate.
