How acupuncture is performed
Special needles are applied through the skin into specific ‘channel’ points of the body, with each point having its own therapeutic benefits. The needles are inserted into the skin and muscles at various depths – as is appropriate for that particular area of the body. For example, a needle in the wrist area will not need to be as applied as deep as one on a thigh point. Acupuncture encourages your body to adjust itself back to balance by encouraging and aiding the clearance of Qi blockages.
