How do acupuncturists know where to put the needles?

At Quantum TCM Clinic, our highly-skilled acupuncturists utilize the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to determine the precise location for needle insertion. The human body is thought to have 14 primary channels or meridians, along which are located over 2,000 acupuncture points. These points are believed to be interconnected and correspond to specific body organs or functions. It is through these points that Qi or life energy flows.

Each acupuncture point has a unique set of functions and therapeutic properties. Prior to treatment, our acupuncturists conduct a thorough examination which includes understanding the patient's medical history, inspecting the tongue, checking the pulse and other physical examinations. This comprehensive assessment helps us determine the root cause of the problem and identify imbalances in the body.

Based on this diagnosis, a unique treatment plan is then developed for each patient. The treatment plan determines which acupuncture points will be targeted to restore balance and boost the body's self-healing process. Different techniques may be used to manipulate the needles, including twirling, heating or even applying mild electrical pulses. The selection of these techniques also depends on the diagnosis and treatment goals.
