What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine needles into specific parts of the body below the dermis (skin). Yes that’s it. But selecting the right point is the most important part. It’s very easy to learn Acupuncture, but its very difficult to know where to put the actual needles. There is more to acupuncture that meets the eye.
Local Treatments
It is easy to think that if you have back pain, putting needles in the back is the way to get the results you want. This is usually far from the actual truth, as back pain could be happening for a number of reasons. For instance, while treating back pain with acupuncture, I tend not to put any needles in the back for most treatments because I find I get better results with distal points ( far away from the back). Many practitioner therapists out there may do more local treatments
