Is the insertion of sterilized and pre-packaged fine, thin needles onto specific acupuncture points. Sensory nerves are stimulated at the insertion point to promote the production of endorphins for pain relief, and dopamine and serotonin for relaxation. Needles are retained within the skin for 20 to 30 minutes per session.

This is a form of therapeutic massage with pressure applied to specific acupuncture points to stimulate nerve endings. Can be use in place of acupuncture needles if patients are afraid of needles.
