We become ill when our energy balance is disturbed. Acupuncturists help us restore energy balance. Traditional Acupuncture uses small sterile needles to stimulate points on the skin to move energy. Needle-free Acupuncture uses gentle electrical signals on the skin to tell the body to heal. Auricular Acupuncture uses electrical stimulation of points on the ear to reduce pain and stress and improve relaxation.
Shoni shin is for children.
It uses gentle rubbing of the energy meridians. Acupuncture needles are much smaller and thinner than the needles your MD or dentist uses. You may feel pressure or a slight sting when the needle is placed, but after that, most patients tell us they feel no pain and become relaxed and energized. I'm worried about catching something from the needles. The fresh needles you receive will be used only on you and then properly disposed.
