Chinese style acupuncture is the main type of acupuncture taught in American schools. The focus of this style is for the patient to obtain a "de qi" sensation which signals the arrival of qi at the needle. This sensation may be a heavy feeling, a radiating feeling, tingling, a warming or cooling effect or a sensation of pain being alleviated.
