CONTEMPORARY ACUPUNCTURE

Contemporary Acupuncture is a precise technique in which fine solid needles are inserted into areas of the body that are neurologically relevant to the condition. The needles are either stimulated manually or with electricity for the therapeutic purpose of modulating abnormal activity of the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, as well as the effects on the body.

The main uses for acupuncture are for the treatment of acute or chronic pain of musculoskeletal dysfunction, and the treatment of symptoms associated with abnormal nervous system functioning.

Ancillary techniques of Acupuncture may include one or more of the following:

  • Electro-Acupuncture: where the needles are electrically stimulated are various frequencies to increase their therapeutic benefit
  • Dry Needling: where muscles are briefly needled by an acupuncture needle, and held in a needle holder to release trigger points and spasms
