What Are The Types Of Acupuncture Needles

The technique that involves inserting hair-thin acupuncture needles up to various depths in the skin in order to relieve pain is known as acupuncture. It was in China this technique originated thousand of years ago, though only in this last two decades when it became fairly popular.

What is not been fully understood by modern medicine practitioners is the ´how´ and ´why´ of acupuncture, in spite of countless health benefits shown by studies. Treated through acupuncture are weight loss, sinus headaches, asthma and eczema, and to help people who want to quit smoking.

Using Acupuncture Needles For Treatment

Series of weekly treatments are involved in the therapy and including in each visit are exam and assessment of patient´s current condition, then subsequently is the insertion of acupuncture needles, with each session lasting almost 30 minutes.

A person needs to lie down face up, facedown or sideways before acupuncture needles are placed. It is of the essence that acupuncturist uses single-use sterile packaged acupuncture needles to ensure safety.

Along the course, patient might feel a sharp but mild pain when needles are inserted giving a deep aching sensation when needle reached the correct depth but the procedure is not that painful.

Types Of Acupuncture Needles

Available extensive range of acupuncture needles to include are tube copper needle, with tube extra long copper needle, without tube copper needle, spiral handle needle, golden coated needle, right hand needle, steel handle needle, Nickel-coated needle, aluminum handle needle and flat handle needle.

Since they are very thin and quite flexible, stainless steel needles are what most of the practitioners prefer to use. These not reusable needles are just inserted a little bit. Used by some practitioners are the Japanese styles ultra fine, soft, solid silver needles.

These needles do not actually penetrate the skin but just attached to points. Another type of Japanese needles used has little balls at the end for the patients who are very sensitive or are scared of needles.

This needle is just connected and placed at a point while the result of this procedure is quite effective for little children or weak people.
