Tradition meets modern pain therapy – targeted, profound and regulating<\/span><\/p>

Trigger acupuncture is a specialized form of acupuncture within traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It combines the classical knowledge of meridians and Qi flow with modern findings on myofascial trigger points – i.e. localized muscle hardening that can trigger pain and radiate to other parts of the body. <\/span><\/p>

Fine acupuncture needles are inserted directly into tense muscle areas to release so-called myogelosis, stimulate blood circulation and harmonize the flow of Qi and blood. Trigger acupuncture works with pinpoint accuracy – and is always embedded in the holistic context of TCM. <\/span><\/p>

Her aim is to treat the cause of pain, release blockages and restore the balance of yin and yang.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In TCM, pain arises where the free flow of Qi and blood is disturbed. Trigger acupuncture uses proven diagnostic methods – such as tongue and pulse diagnosis – as well as careful palpation of the muscles to identify active trigger points and view them in the context of the meridian system (Jing-Luo). <\/span><\/p>

The combination of classic acupuncture points and locally applied needles enables targeted treatment of muscle tension. This releases blockages in the flow of Qi, mobilizes blood and energy and activates the body’s self-regulation. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Trigger points are a common cause of chronic or recurring pain – e.g. in the back, neck or shoulder area. Targeted needling of these areas can release muscle spasms, reduce local inflammatory reactions and modulate pain conduction in the nervous system.<\/span><\/p>

In many cases, there is immediate noticeable relief: mobility improves, tension eases and the sensation of pain decreases. Trigger acupuncture can optionally be supplemented with electrostimulation or cupping. <\/span><\/p>

The big advantage: the method works directly on the cause – without medication, with few side effects and with a lasting effect.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Trigger acupuncture is particularly suitable for patients with muscle-related pain, tension and restricted movement – even if other treatments have shown little success to date.<\/p>
