"Aren't all acupuncture needles all the same?"...

There has been a rapid growth and expansion of traditional Chinese medicine in primary health care. Concurrently, we have seen a plethora of new products coming on to the market. With so many to choose from, it's a minefield for practitioners to navigate their way through - and aren't all acupuncture needles the same?

The answer is ‘NO’ You get what you pay for. Acupuncture needles are priced according to their standard of production and manufacturing. All acupuncture needles meet the agreed minimal requirements meaning that they are sterile in their packaging. However, inferior brand needles may have damaged or off-centre tips and high levels of particulate matter on the needle shaft, not visible to the naked eye. This may increase the risk of patient discomfort, pain, bleeding and possible infection.

Quality, sharpness and ease of insertion vary greatly and depend on the:

type and quality of materials used
sharpening methods
methods of sterilisation
cleanliness of packaging rooms and handling
quality control standards at each level of manufacturing

These factors combined will determine the needle quality and ultimately your patient's experience.

An acupuncture needle is a powerful tool. Choose one you can rely on, from a supplier you can trust. balance@jcm provide you with high quality, safe and reliable acupuncture needles, at great prices.
