What is acupuncture?

In reality Acupuncture are practiced medical treatments that are over 3000 years old. Very basically, Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine needles, on the body's surface, in order to influence physiological functioning of the body.

Acupuncture has already been recognized by New Zealand Government along with most of countries in the world and WHO. In New Zealand, there are some universities and colleges offering acupuncture courses. All registered members are ACC treatment providers. Most of the people know that acupuncture is good for injury, muscle pain, etc.

 

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most people who have had acupuncture would describe it as virtually painless. The sensations that follow range from nothing at all, to mild tingling, to slight numbness, to electrical pulsations in areas distant from the site of insertion.  All these sensations usually subside once the needles are removed.

　

Is acupuncture safe?

Relatively few complications from the use of acupuncture have been reported in light of the millions of people treated each year. Practitioners should use a new set of disposable needles taken from a seated package for each patient. Both practitioners in our clinic also have medical backgrounds so they can offer you very safe and professional acupuncture.
