Acupuncturists Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture. The site lists clinics http://www.acupuncture.ac.nz/clinics Treatment Techniques Acupuncture: Involves the insertion of fine needles (about the width of a human hair) into specific sites on the body which restores the balanced circulation of qi (life-force) and blood. Moxa: Is a herbal heat treatment which warms specific sites on the body by burning herbs close to the skin - this treatment warms and supports the tissues of the body to promote healing. This has a very soothing effect. Cupping: Is a method commonly used in the Far-east to restore the flow of qi and blood to an area to relieve muscular aches and pains. Tuina: For people who do not want to try acupuncture, Tuina (Chinese medical massage) and acupressure (acupuncture without needles) may be used as an alternative.
