Most people feel calm and relaxed both during and after the treatment. It is not necessary to use needles for an effective acupuncture treatment. There are over two hundred acupuncture points in the cartilage of your outer ear which correspond to other parts of your body. Research at the UCLA Pain Control Center has demonstrated that gentle, needle-less, micro current treatment of these points can be more effective than acupuncture needles. I began using this technique to overcome people's fear of needles, but the results have been so impressive that I now use it most of the time.
Acupuncture is a safe medical procedure.
The use of disposable sterilized needles protects against the transmission of any communicable diseases and insures your safety and well-being. There are no serious adverse side effects to acupuncture. Acupuncture has many advantages when used as a drug free alternative or as a complement to Western medicine. Conditions may improve from the first treatment. The number and frequency of treatments varies with the type of problem and its severity.
