At Yulong TCM Clinic, acupuncture is always adapted to the needs of each patient. While the foundation of every session is classical body acupuncture, Maria often integrates specific methods that enhance healing, improve results, and address particular conditions.
Below you’ll find an overview of the procedures most commonly used at the clinic:
Body Acupuncture
The classical form of acupuncture and the heart of Traditional Chinese Medicine practice. Fine, sterile needles are placed in precise points along the body’s meridians to relieve pain, improve organ function, balance emotions, and support overall wellbeing.
Best for: pain relief, stress, digestive issues, sleep disorders, fatigue, immune support.
Electro-Acupuncture
A modern development of acupuncture where a gentle, controlled electrical current is applied to selected needles. This enhances the stimulation of points and strengthens the therapeutic effect.
Best for: neurological conditions, chronic or stubborn pain, muscle rehabilitation, circulation problems.
Scalp Acupuncture
Targeting specialized zones on the scalp, this method stimulates areas of the brain related to motor, sensory, and speech functions. It is highly effective in neurological recovery and for certain chronic conditions.
Best for: migraines, dizziness, stroke rehabilitation, neurological imbalances.
Facial Acupuncture
Sometimes called “cosmetic acupuncture,” this technique goes beyond aesthetics. By using fine points on the face and head, it promotes circulation, reduces tension, and enhances both appearance and wellbeing.
Best for: natural facial rejuvenation, sinus issues, facial paralysis, headaches, relaxation.
Gua Sha (Integrated Use)
A gentle scraping technique, often included alongside acupuncture treatments. By stimulating circulation and releasing stagnation, it helps the body recover and reduces inflammation.
Best for: muscle tension, colds, respiratory issues, localized pain, lymphatic support.
