Within traditional acupuncture there are several specific techniques which can be used as stand-alone treatments. As a BAcC member, we are familiar with these techniques and use them when appropriate, usually as part of an overall individualised treatment plan. In addition to needling acupuncture points, a traditional acupuncture treatment may include other Chinese medicine techniques such as:

moxibustion: application of indirect heat using moxa (therapeutic herbs) and/or heat lamps to warm and relax muscles and energy meridians
tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage): to relieve muscle tension, stimulate acupressure points, open energy meridians and stimulate the flow of qi
electro-acupuncture: a very low frequency electrical current (1Hz) is applied to the needle to increase blood flow, relax muscle tissue and clear stagnant qi
cupping: glass cups with a vacuum seal are placed on the skin to stimulate blood flow and clear stagnant qi
guasha: vigorous rubbing of the skin to increase blood flow and clear stagnant qi

Auricular acupuncture uses acupuncture points located on the ear. Often used with other styles of acupuncture or on its own.
