Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
This type of acupuncture not only acupuncture needles, but also the burning of Chinese herbs. TCM considered in a holistic approach to medicine because it treats the whole person, not only the body but also mind and spirit.
It is based on the concept of Qi (or Chi), believed to be a force of energy in the body retains the functions of the body, including organs, working properly. Qi moves along the body on pathways called meridians with each representing a certain body system or organ function. It is along these lines that the acupuncturist places needles.

Fire, earth, metal, water, wood
Japanese Acupuncture
Japanese Acupuncture is in the same sense that classical acupuncture, but such uses smaller needles. It also focuses more on accuracy and effective techniques that promote the achievement of impressive results using the smallest possible amount of stimulation.
Electro Acupuncture
As its name suggests, combines acupuncture electro acupuncture traditional associated with low electric current running through the hands and becoming an increasingly popular form of acupuncture. Electro acupuncture uses acupuncture meridians classic, but uses a small device that clips onto the needles. The device sends electrical impulses that the acupuncturist can adjust according to the intensity required.
Unlike Japanese acupuncture, electro acupuncture does not need to be as accurate. The electrical pulses to stimulate a wider area making it easier to treat the area. Those who are sensitive about needles prefer electro acupuncture, because it can be done with electrodes instead of needles and achieve the same results.
Medical Acupuncture
Medical acupuncture is very similar to traditional acupuncture, but it is performed by a licensed physician. It integrates medical science surrounding the neuromuscular anatomy. Some models also include historical acupuncture Chinese, thus creating a hybrid of Western medical science and Eastern Europe.
Auricular Acupuncture
Ear Acupuncture is unique. This type of trafficking throughout the body, like other types of acupuncture, but it does so through specific points in the ears of the patient. The acupuncturist identifies certain nerves in the ear that relate to other parts of the body to help heal or relieve pain in this particular part.
Auricular acupuncture has over 200 acupuncture points to know about the outer ear. This is also called the pinna, commonly known as cartilage. Western auricular acupuncturists use a tool called a acupunctoscope electronica, which is a power tool. This is in the same direction as the electro acupuncture methods. This method is known as Transcutaneous Electical Nerve Stimulation (TENS).
