Everyone has experienced pain or stiffness.
Spolban combines acupuncture and pressure particle therapy to help the body fight illness.
This is an acupuncture device that enhances the body's natural resistance and self-healing ability.

What is Acupuncture Treatment?
This method stimulates by applying needles to painful spots (pressure pain points).

What is Pressure Particle Therapy?
This method applies a small iron oxide powder molded plate to the pressure pain point to provide pressure stimulation.

　　　Painless Acupuncture Treatment　　　

Spolban has a small hole in the center of the pressure particle (iron oxide powder molded plate),
The needle tips protrude from there and are fixed with tape.
The needle tips are 1.1mm long and 0.22mm thick, causing almost no pain.
The needles are integrally molded with a ring-shaped base, so there is no risk of the needle tips coming off.

　Four Recognized Effects of the Needles　

1. Pain Relief Effect

Needle stimulation promotes secretion of endorphins, hormones that reduce pain, from the brain's central nervous system.

2. Blood Flow Improvement Effect

Applying the needles reflexively activates muscles and internal organs through sensory nerves in the skin, improving blood circulation.
Stimulation by needles causes secretion of neurotransmitters that dilate blood vessels, improving local blood flow.

3. Nerve Regulation Effect

When there is nerve pain, stimulating the nerve with needles suppresses nerve excitation and relieves pain. Conversely, if nerve function is paralyzed, stimulation with needles excites the nerve to restore normal function. Thus, needles have a nerve regulation effect.

4. Endocrine Regulation Effect

Mental stress and various stimuli affect hormone secretion. The needles help regulate hormone secretion by improving or suppressing excessive hormone release.
