Discussion on the Mechanism of Acupuncture Effect Based on the Fascia Theory
Based on the theory of fascia and the current researches, this paper explored the mechanism of the acupuncture effect by discussing on the definition and function of the anatomy of fascia, the relationship between fascia and the essence of channel and collateral acupoints, the relationship between fascia and acupuncture effect, and the nerve innervation and mechanical conduction mechanism of fascia. It is believed that the change of the fibroblasts state is a key to the correlation between acupuncture effect and fascia. Fascia are closely related to the acupuncture effect, such as arrival of
qi
, adjacent points effect, distal points effect, acupuncture analgesia, and acupuncture energetics. The discussion of the acupuncture effect mechanism from the perspective of fascia theory can provide theoretical basis and new ideas for future studies on the mechanism of acupuncture effect.
