​
I practice multiple styles of acupuncture depends on which ones I think may benefit the patient's case most. The most frequently used acupuncture in my practice includes Fu's subcutaneous Needling(浮针)and Five Yun Six Qi needling（å…气针法) .
​
FSN (Fu's Subcutaneous Needling)
FSN was originated from TCM, but the insertion points are different from traditional acupoints. FSN only goes into the subcutaneous layer (between skin and muscle). It treats different kinds of pain and chronic diseases that are related to muscle tightness. Muscle tightness could cause insufficient blood and oxygen running through the muscles which leads to pain. The FSN technique is to sweep the needle between the skin and the muscle. This triggers a response on the connective tissue to help relax the tightened muscle, promote blood flow, and immediately relieve the pain.
​
Five Yun Six Qi needling
This needling method is based on the five elements(wood, fire, earth, metal, water) and six Qi (Jueyin, Shaoyang, Shaoyin, Taiyin, Yangming, Taiyang) system of TCM. A human's body constitution is greatly affected by the nature's energy at the time the person was born. This needling method emphasizes on the relationships​ between the human body and the nature.

Chinese Herbs​​
Chinese herbal medicines are mainly plant based. Different herbs have different properties that can balance particular systems of the body. Each herbal prescription is customized based on the patient's body constitution and the practitioner's diagnosis. The prescription normally contains a group of different herbs that work together to rebalance the body. Nowadays, herbs are made into granules to make them easier to take.
