Needle manipulation has cellular consequences

Subtle differences in needle manipulation techniques can affect the cellular response of connective tissue to acupuncture. American researchers subjected subcutaneous tissue samples from mice to varying amounts of bidirectional needle rotation, before examining them by confocal microscopy. Fibroblast cells were observed to respond to bidirectional rotation with morphological changes, which occurre ...
