Additional treatments that may be used to support your acupuncture sessions.
Tui Na Massage
Tui Na (push-grasp) is a form of
oriental massage that has been
practised in China for thousands of years. It is a hands on treatment
using the same principles as Acupuncture.
Techniques such as grasping, rolling, kneading, traction and pressure are used to remove blockages along the channels (meridians) of the body to stimulate the flow of Qi and blood to promote healing.
Auricular acupuncture
The ear has many acupuncture points that can be used to treat a variety of conditions. In some cases small pellets will be used with or instead of the needles, these are stuck on to the skin around the earlobe and can be left in place for a few days.
Cupping
This treatment involves glass cups being placed on the skin, a vacuum is created inside the cup and this causes the skin to draw up inside the cup. This technique is used to move stagnation or blockages in the channels. It is a very strong treatment and can leave bruises on the skin.
Moxabustion (Moxa)
This technique involves a dried herb called Mugwort that can be burned to give heat. The moxa can be burned on the end of the needles, or held close to an acupuncture point.
Electro-acupuncture
In some conditions a small current of electricity may be passed through the needles in order to give a slightly stronger treatment.
