Anatomical acupuncture refers to a modern approach taken by the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute (AFCI), using knowledge of anatomy and physiology to stimulate muscles, tendons, nerves and connective tissues.

How does acupuncture work?

Acupuncture stimulates the body to release endorphins – the body’s natural pain relieving chemicals. Endorphins can help block pain messages, resulting in pain relief, general relaxation and body regulation.
