No, the Bostock Needle Technique (BNT) is a thicker gauge dry needle that goes directly into the muscle tissue and targets the Nerve Locks, unlike Acupuncture which targets Chinese Meridian or Qi points.
The BNT reduces the pain in the muscle and other affected nerve areas completely by deactivating the specific nerves that have gone into a ‘protective’ locked state causing the chronic pain. It has a direct & immediate result – you will know when the pain has been released!
