From the spinal cord the the information travels to the brainstem. The signals here trigger the body's natural ability to suppress pain. It does this by stimulating the release of various chemicals throughout the spinal cord.
From the brainstem the acupuncture input travels to the limbic system, hypothalamus and cortex. These effects may have positive outcomes on mood, pain relief, the immune system and autonomic nervous system activity including certain hormones, stress and conditions such as IBS, headaches, etc.
