Exploring the Types of Acupuncture Needles Available at Agupunt
Acupuncture is an ancient practice that remains central to modern complementary medicine due to its effectiveness in the treatment of pain and various medical conditions. At Agupunt, we are proud to offer a variety of acupuncture needles to meet the specific needs of each practitioner. From CTN needles to intradermal needles, each type has unique features designed to optimise treatment results. We will explore the different types of acupuncture needles available in our shop and how each can be used to enhance the acupuncture practice.
1. CTN Acupuncture Needles
CTN needles are known for their precision and quality, making them a preferred choice among professional acupuncturists. Manufactured to strict standards, these needles are sharp and durable, ensuring smooth and effective insertions. They are ideal for a wide range of acupuncture techniques and are commonly used in treatments for both muscular pain and internal imbalances.2. Korean needles
Korean acupuncture needles are distinguished by their thinness and flexibility, making insertion virtually painless. This makes them especially suitable for sensitive patients and for acupuncturists who prefer a gentler style of treatment. These needles are excellent for precise stimulation of acupuncture points without causing significant discomfort.3. Intradermal needles
Intradermal needles are small and are used for superficial insertions into the skin. They are designed to remain in the skin for prolonged periods and are commonly used in cosmetic acupuncture treatments, as well as for chronic problems such as allergies or headaches. Their unique design allows for a continuous release of pressure at specific points, offering extended therapeutic benefits.4. Chinese needles
This type of needle is the most traditional and widely used needle in acupuncture practice. Chinese needles are robust and versatile, suitable for a variety of acupuncture techniques and treatments. They offer great durability and are capable of handling manipulation during acupuncture techniques that require more vigorous stimulation of points.5. Japanese needles
Japanese needles are highly valued for their exceptional quality and design that minimises pain during insertion. These needles are extremely thin and often come with plastic guides that facilitate precise and controlled placement, ideal for treatments that require great delicacy and precision.
