Research suggests this stimulation can trigger the release of endorphins and other brain chemicals that dampen pain signals, helping your nervous system become less reactive to pain. It may also reduce local inflammation and improve blood flow around irritated spinal structures and tight muscles, which can ease stiffness and support healing over time. From a traditional Chinese medicine view, acupuncture is thought to rebalance the flow of “Qi” (energy) along pathways called meridians. Whether or not you accept that model, many patients report that after several sessions they feel their back is less tight, they can move more freely, and flare‑ups are less intense. For some, this allows them to sit, stand, or walk longer with less discomfort, which in turn makes it easier to keep up with physical therapy and gentle exercise, both of which further support recovery.
