Acupuncture Techniques

Different kinds of traditional acupuncture vary slightly in diagnostic techniques and needling style but all concentrate on improving overall wellbeing by treating the root cause of an illness as well as relieving symptoms. There are several specific techniques within traditional acupuncture which can be used as stand-alone treatments. In addition to needling acupuncture points, a traditional acupuncture treatment may include other Chinese medicine techniques such as moxibustion, cupping, tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage) and electro-acupuncture.
