LuXXaMed and Acupuncture

LuXXaMed and Acupuncture

There are many ways to combine regulatory therapies. A good solution is to use TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) alongside acupuncture and BCR therapy with the Luxxamed HD2000+.

 

Restoring balance to disrupted energy flow in the body

Acupuncture aims to influence the flow of energy through targeted needle insertions at specific points along the meridians (energy pathways). In a simplified form, acupressure can also be carried out without the use of needles. In this case, the acupuncture points are stimulated manually, for example using the hands. (Wikipedia.

LuXXaMed, LED light therapy and acupuncture

In Spain, many therapists use a technique known as ‘dry needling’. This involves ‘puncturing’ myofascial trigger points or acupuncture points with special acupuncture needles. Depending on the patient’s response, a stimulus is then applied to the needle by rotating it.

 

Dry needling is an effective complement to manual trigger point therapy. It involves inserting a thin needle without any medication (hence the name ‘dry’) very precisely into the trigger point responsible for the current symptoms.
This releases muscle spasms, improves local blood flow and reduces local inflammatory reactions. ‘Dry needling’ is used in the treatment of pain syndromes, in sports physiotherapy and in orthopaedic rehabilitation.
Various studies have shown that it is not necessary to inject substances into a trigger point for it to heal; rather, it is the precisely guided insertion itself that is effective. This is why the term ‘dry needling’ has come into use.

A Spanish therapist, based approximately 40 km from the Portuguese border, uses the LuXXaMed HD2000+ in his physiotherapy practice and combines dry needling with HD2000+ therapy. To do this, he attaches crocodile clips to the acupuncture needles to transfer the energy from the HD2000+ directly to the relevant point.

In Spain, unlike in many other countries in the European Union, physiotherapists are permitted to practise acupuncture.

How to use the HD2000+

The procedure for using the HD2000+ in acupuncture is very simple. Essentially, you can work on the meridians and acupuncture points using the adhesive electrodes. In addition, you should use the LED light therapy, for example to ‘trace’ the meridians. Pay attention to the friction resistance when moving the light applicator across the skin. The friction resistance can provide indications of regulatory imbalances.

Abundance of energy or energy deficiency?

But how am I supposed to use the LuXXaMed for acupuncture if I don’t know whether the device is supplying or draining ‘energy’? The answer is quite simple: thanks to the automatic function of LuXXaMed devices, you’re always on the safe side, because the device automatically adjusts to changes in metabolism!
