Acupuncture in detail
Even placing a needle
calls for careful checks.
How we check your muscles and adjust stimulation during acupuncture.
Adjusting stimulation directly where it is needed
Lifting and thrusting is a method of adjusting stimulation by moving the needle up and down. We proceed while checking muscle tension, tender points and your response during treatment.
When needed, we may check for a brief muscle twitch response. Whether it occurs and how strong it is can vary by person and area.
