Sports Medicine Applications

Acupuncture used in the treatment of sport injury is a huge practice builder, especially when combined with TCM energetics. The Safe-T Sleeve™ becomes very useful in this arena as often the practitioner is targeting specific muscles and needs to use longer needles.
This video shows you some great techniques using methods from Matt Callison and Whitfield Reaves.

You'll only find the Safe-T Sleeve on TeWa (pronounced "Tay-vah") brand needles.

TeWa needles are bi-metallic, composed of a stainless steel shaft and a traditional copper-wound loop handle. b4d6da

Practitioners have noted that bimetallic needles made of copper/stainless steel have a stronger energetic effect than those made up of metals with similar energetics, (i.e. stainless steel paired with aluminum or chrome). The yin/yang nature of the different metals creates an electron transfer which give the needles an enhanced energy.

Needle tips are ground by automated machines, thereby ensuring perfect needle tip consistency.

Coated TeWa needles have a micro-layer of bio-inert FDA-approved silicone which reduces friction on insertion, enabling practitioners to reach target depth AND minimize patient discomfort.

Non-coated TeWas, currently available in select sizes, are great for practitioners who use direct moxa, or have patients with an allergy to silicone.
