Trigger Point Needling: Acupuncture for Stubborn, Chronic or Acute Pain
“Trigger point acupuncture” or “Trigger point needling” is practiced for acute and chronic pain, by acupuncturists who have 3,000+ hours of Chinese Medical theory and clinical internship training to inform their strategy and needling technique.
When doing a “Trigger Point” treatment, i don’t just put a needle into the tightest point, i am also:
-Looking at the entire pain pattern and treating accordingly: is there blood stagnation that has developed from chronicity, cold stagnation, damp stagnation, areas of deficiency, areas of compensation, areas of recruitment?
-Creating a pathway for the trapped energy to move through, on it’s way OUT.
-Releasing and resolving using points on the hands and feet, so that improvement is not temporary but permanent towards resolution.
