Acupunture

Watch Videos and get the latest news on acupunture



Nearly all acupuncture techniques use needles, though there are varieties that also use electric stimulation, burning, and herbs.

The needles used are solid needles, not hollow tube needles like Western doctors use.

In America, certified practitioners of acupuncture use pre-sterilized disposable needles. There is usually no medicine on the needles, for the needle itself acts on the Qi energy to make the change in the flow.

The practitioner may use a particular angle to insert a needle, or may manipulate the needle a little (such as a small rotation) to get the best results for a particular client.
