The needles your Doctor uses are typically for vaccination or a vitamin infusion and is called a hypodermic needle. These types of needles are not used in Acupuncture, as there is no distribution of fluid from a syringe when being treated by an Acupuncturist. Typically, an Acupuncture needle is more like a pin.
The needles used at Ultra Health Therapies are so thin, they will bend when placed on the body and pressure is applied. A guide tube is used to insert the ‘pin’ on specific areas of the body to assist elicit a sensation of relaxation.
