ACCUPUNCTURE

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture works by stimulation of acupuncture points from penetration of the skin by small gauge, metallic needles, which is manipulated manually or by electrical stimulation. These needles vary in length, width and shape of the head.

Cupping is another method of stimulation of acupuncture points. This is done by applying suction through a plastic, wood or glass jar, in which a partial vacuum has been created. This technique, by producing warmth to the specific area, relaxes the muscles and helps relieve various body aches such as low backache, sprains and soft tissue injuries.

Another adjunctive therapy often used is Moxibustion. This involves the burning of special herbs over the affected area to warm it. Acupuncture and Moxibustion are considered complimentary and commonly used together.
