What is needle withdrawal therapy?

Pin-lifting therapy regulates the flow of qi and blood in the body by stimulating acupoints on the skin surface or using tools such as cupping or gua sha, thus achieving therapeutic effects for various diseases.

Pin-lifting therapy is a traditional Chinese medical treatment, also known as cupping, fire cupping, or gua sha with cupping. Its principle lies in stimulating acupoints to regulate the circulation of qi and blood, thereby promoting the body's self-healing and regulatory functions. This therapy can improve blood circulation, enhance metabolism, boost immunity, relieve pain, and improve sleep quality.

The specific procedure involves gently manipulating needles over acupoints or applying tools like cupping jars or gua sha instruments to stimulate the skin surface, aiming to activate the targeted acupoints. Pin-lifting therapy should be performed by qualified TCM practitioners who select appropriate acupoints and techniques based on the patient’s condition and physical status.

Although pin-lifting therapy is a traditional Chinese medicine practice, it is not suitable for everyone. Prior to undergoing treatment, individuals should consult a professional TCM practitioner to understand their health condition and the proposed treatment plan, so as to avoid potential risks.
