Not Just Needles
These are some other features of Chinese Medicine that may be used in conjunction with regular Acupuncture.
- ElectroAcupuncture (application of electrical current to the needles)
- Gua Sha (gentle scraping of the skin with a blunt object)
- Chinese Herbal Therapy
- Chinese Nutrition Therapy
- Tui Na (a vigorous massage)
- Cupping (suction on the skin)
- Various oils, creams or liniments
Acupuncture needles are made from stainless steel and have been sterilized before packaging. All precautions are taken to ensure that the needles remain clean and sterilized until they are inserted.
Cupping is done with glass or rubber cups that are cleaned and disinfected after each use.
Oils, creams and liniments contain herbal components known to have therapeutic effects. |
