​1. Dry Needling 

Dry Needling is a Western technique that ​aims to release pain trigger points. Fine needles are inserted into tight muscle tissues to release tension, reduce pain, and improve mobility. It is often used by physical therapists and sports therapists for musculoskeletal problems and injuries.

2. Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) 

Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) is an advanced form of Dry Needling and focuses on the treatment of neurogenic pain resulting from nervous system dysfunction. Needles are inserted deep into muscle tissue to induce a local contractile response and restore normal neuromuscular function.

3. Electroacupuncture

Electroacupuncture is a technique that combines classical acupuncture with electrical stimulation. Once the needles are inserted, they are connected to a device that produces low-intensity electrical currents, which stimulate the nerves and enhance the therapeutic effect. It is often used for chronic pain, neuropathies and muscle rehabilitation.

4. Scalp Acupuncture

Scalp acupuncture is applied to specific areas of the skull, which are associated with neurological functions. It is particularly useful for the treatment of neurological disorders, such as strokes, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. It is based on mapping the areas of the brain that respond to specific stimuli.

5. Auricular Acupuncture

Auricular acupuncture is a method that focuses on the ear, which is considered a microsystem that reflects the condition of the entire body. Needles are placed at specific points in the ear to regulate pain, manage stress, and treat various conditions, including addictions and psychosomatic disorders.

Conclusion

Specialized acupuncture techniques are powerful tools in pain management and health improvement. Depending on the patient's needs, they can be used individually or in combination, offering a holistic and personalized therapeutic approach.
