A combination of different therapies could be used, depending on the patient’s condition. Acupuncture and herbal medicine are the most widely used methods, while other adjunctive techniques such as cupping, gua-sha and moxibustion could be used to enhance or compliment acupuncture treatments.
Acupuncture
Thin, sterile, single-use needles are inserted at specific points on the body according to the presenting condition of the patient to achieve therapeutic results.
Moxibustion
A dried herb (Mugwort) is lighted to provide warmth and medicinal therapy to the areas of pain or disharmony to increase circulation, dispel cold and reduce pain.
Cupping
Cupping is used to relieve pain, tightness and improving conditions with dampness, circulation of energy and blood.
Electro-Acupuncture
Thin acupuncture needles inserted in the body are connected to electrodes to treat neurological diseases, paralysis, chronic pain, and spasms.
