Acupuncture Needles
High Quality Acupuncture Needles for use in the treatment of pain and other health conditions.
For centuries Acupuncture, the practice of strategically puncturing the skin with tiny needles at specified anatomical points, has been a key component of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of pain and relief of symptoms associated with various health conditions. Those same benefits are rendered today by physicians around the world to modulate pain and treat a variety of health problems by penetrating a person’s skin with a thin, metallic sterilized needle which is then activated via specific and smooth movements of the practitioner or with electrical stimulation. Numerous studies have demonstrated acupuncture to be an effective intervention for pain relief and a variety of health conditions.
It is believed that acupuncture stimulates nerves traveling to the central nervous system causing the release of chemicals into muscles, spinal cord, and brain producing changes associated with pain relief, tissue healing, and the promotion of physical and emotional well-being.
