Unlike the hollow hypodermic needles used in allopathic medicine to give injections or draw blood, acupuncture needles are thin, solid and can hardly be felt. Because acupuncture is the penetration of the skin by an acupuncture needle, strict needle safety protocols are observed and sterility of the equipment is always maintained. Thatcher Chiropractic uses only sterile, single-use, disposable needles at all times.
Most Western culture’s medical beliefs depend highly on “evidence-based” medication and intervention. Acupuncture has had a difficult time proving its validity and reliability to satisfy some skeptics. What it does have is many accounts of patients who suffered for years with chronic pain and were ultimately able to find relief.
Some of the conditions that can be treated with acupuncture at Thatcher Chiropractic:
- Arthritis
- Back Pain
- Bursitis
- Degenerative Disease
- Elbow Pain
- Headaches
- Joint Conditions
- Knee Pain
- Neck Pain
- Pain
- Sciatica

Even the World Health Organization has stated that acupuncture can be useful in the treatment of some neurological infirmities and pain.
