Acupuncture shares the same diagnostic system with Chinese herbal medicine. But it treats the disease by altering the flow of Qi in 14 medians with needles.
Acupuncture is already well known as the most effective drug-free pain relief . Actually it also benefits most health conditions.
Acupuncture needles are designed with a smooth surface and are very thin. The feeling of the insertion of a needle can often described as being bitten by a mosquito . Bleeding from acupuncture is quite rare. In our clinic we only use disposable needles.
