How is Acupuncture done?
A Chinese-medicine practitioner meets with you and talks with you about your
medical history and your current situation. Once it is clear what your Chinese-medicine
diagnosis is, the practitioner creates a plan for your treatment. this plan
may include a combination of Acupuncture and chinese Herbs. Acupuncture involves
the insertion of very fine, sterilized needles into the skin and the underlying
tissue. The needles are placed at specific points on the body and no substance
is injected. When the needle contacts the skin some people feel slight discomfort,
but once the needles are in place there is no pain.
