Needling
The needle is gently inserted in the skin painlessly, with a single-use disposable, sterile needle. The patient is fully educated about the application of the needles. Patient Care is considered first before any treatment.
Non-Insertion Needling
This technique is used with children and people who are not comfortable with needle insertion. Gentle tapping and scraping techniques are applied.
Moxibustion
This is the ancient art of applying an herb over the skin and applying heat to stimulate the healing process.
Cupping
Glass or Plastic cups are applied to the skin where there is dense muscle tissue. The cups are then made airless in the middle to create a vacuum. Cupping is used to break up scar tissue, move stagnant blood and fluids, relax muscles, break up mucous congestion in the chest etc.
Ion Pumping Cords
A wire is connected to the head of one needle to another by a small clip which creates a healing energetic connection.
Electric Stimulation
A small current can be used to break down old scar tissue and some difficult cases of depression.
Tui Na, Amma, Shiatsu, Sotai Massage
Massage is the predecessor of Acupuncture.
Acupressure
This technique can be as effective as needling for the extra sensitive, needle "shy" person.
