MoreNeedling techniques are carefully chosen based on the condition of the patients and the location of the acupoints. Precautions can ensure the overall outcome as well as prevent accident.
MorePhysicians may use different needling techniques on different points. Specific sets of needle techniques can regulate the function of organs by either reinforcement or reduction.
MoreDue to the anatomical features of the acupoint and the personal experiences, needle insertion techniques vary among the acupuncturists. Traditionally, the needle is inserted using both hands.

They are also required to practice needle technique on their own bodies so as to experience the exact feeling of manipulation and stimulation that the recipient gets.
