Acupuncture can be performed without needles: micro stimulation uses current instead of needles to stimulate and balance meridians.

Acupuncture without Needles

There are many ways to enjoy the wonderful effects of Acupuncture without needles. Micro stimulation uses a small, painless amount of electrical current to treat trigger points and the acupuncture points of the ear and body. The two systems I use are:

StimFlex:

This is a very sensitive machine that is able to detect and treat the acupuncture points of the ear, which is the most powerful reflex system of the whole body. In fact, every condition can be treated through the ear. It is especially effective for treating pain, anxiety and depression.

The Dolphin:

This small, hand held devise can be used to select and treat acupuncture points anywhere on the body. It is a wonderful treatment for tight or painful muscles and is often my first choice for treating the fixed pain of trigger points. It can also be used as a substitute for a traditional acupuncture session, making it a perfect choice for children or the needle shy!
