Western Acupuncture
Western acupuncture is the biomedical adaptation of traditional Chinese acupuncture methods that focuses on concepts of neurology, anatomy and physiology. Western acupuncture involves insertion of solid needles at points based on the traditional Chinese approach as well as points that are anatomically and neurologically connected to your specific source of pain. Another major difference between the two forms of acupuncture is that the western approach may include manual needle stimulation or electrical stimulation of the needles.
The Goal: to interrupt the inflammation and pain cycle around an injury to provide relief and prevent further damage.
After the pain and inflammation has subsided biomedical acupuncture can further be utilized to reverse these errant movement habits by re-educating normal muscle patterns and promoting optimal healing and function of the damaged tissue.
