ABSTRACT:
A method of underwater acupuncture which advantageously uses a synergistic effect resulting from a combined use of acupuncture and a water therapy treatment. A device for carrying out the method comprises an enclosure (11) which is sealed at one end and has a flange (33) on the opposite open end. The sealed end has a resilient tip (22) and supports a sterile acupuncture needle (26) inside the enclosure. The flange has an adhesive outer tape (32) for sealingly attaching the device to the skin of a patient in the area of an acupuncture point. The acupuncture needle (26) is guided through a longitudinal channel (14) of a guide tube (24) inserted into the enclosure (11) and can be brought into contact with the skin of the patient by pushing on the aforementioned resilient tip (22).
