Needle Free Acupunture
Harmony Chinese Medical Centre is the first of a growing number of clinics with this revolutionary equipment in Australia and New Zealand.
This most advanced form of acupuncture treatment was developed in 1976 in Japan as a joint academic/industrial study. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is used widely in hospitals and medical institutions across Asia for effective physical therapy, especially for easing pain for over 26 years.
Nerve stimulation is achieved through metal conical electrodes. Patients usually enjoy this comfortable, pain-free reatment.
Treatment facilitates the discharge of endorphins as does traditional acupuncture, with benefit of speedy, needle free treatment for patients with delicate skin and for children
SSP (Silver Spike Point) Therapy eliminates some of the drawbacks of traditional acupuncture including broken needles, difficult techniques, pain of stimulus, 'fear' of needles and anxiety and about contagion or risk of puncture of internal organs.
This Therapy has proven to be the most advanced treatment for the management of Pain and many other conditions!
SSP Therapy is also superior to Laser acupuncture where only one acupuncture point can be accessed at a time. The treatment time of laser acupuncture is limited and it heats the acupuncture point area which is not always suitable for Chinese Medical treatments. There is also a risk of possible damage to sensitive body organs.

Mechanisms of Needle-Free Acupuncture
The SSP Therapy of needle-free acupuncture has been shown by many studies to have the following effects:
* Gate Control Theory
* Peripheral nerve shut off
* Analgesic effect resulting from the secretion of suppressant
Most of all, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation resulting from 'Needle-free acupuncture' is said to facilitate the discharge of endorphins as does acupuncture. It has also been proved that the analgesic effect is reduced by giving naloxone, a morphine antagonist, while current is being applied during needle-free acupuncture.
The SSP system is manufactured in Japan. Purchase of this equipment may be made through Everbest Australia Pty Ltd - the exclusive distributor for Australia and New Zealand.
