HQ Acupuncture Santa Monica: Our Tool Box

... ..

Acupuncture needles used in treatments are sterile,
pre-packaged, single use, solid needles. (pictured below).

Needles are never re-used and are properly discarded
after treatment into a bio-hazard sharps container.

As you can see from the
image on the left, the
acupuncture needles are
very thin.

We were able to fit 17
acupuncture needles
inside a small hypodermic
needle, like the one
typically used for vaccines.

Since the needles are
so thin, they come
inside a plastic "guide
tube" which allows for
quick and painless
insertion by simply
tapping the top.

To make your acupuncture treatment the most effective it can be, we will
incorporate some or all of the following.

Sterile, single-use, hair-thin

, high quality needles

for a comfortable and

painless experience.

O'kyu Moxa

is a way to gently heat acupuncture points for a more

effective treatment.
