Medical Acupuncture

Acupuncture works alongside physiotherapy to enhance rehabilitation and recovery. This technique helps to reduce inflammation and pain, speeding up your recovery process. Where appropriate, we will offer acupuncture alongside your physiotherapy treatment.

Pain Relief: Medical acupuncture is highly effective for alleviating various types of pain, including chronic back pain, migraines, and joint pain by stimulating the body's natural pain-relief mechanisms.

  • Reduced Inflammation: Acupuncture treatments can help decrease inflammation, promoting faster recovery from injuries and chronic conditions.

  • Muscle Relaxation: Needling techniques promote relaxation in tense muscles, improving mobility and reducing stiffness.

  • Enhanced Recovery: Athletes and individuals recovering from surgery often utilize medical acupuncture for quicker healing and improved performance due to its ability to increase blood flow and stimulate repair processes.

  • Improved Functionality: Regular acupuncture sessions can enhance overall physical function, making it a valuable treatment option for conditions that limit movement and daily activities.
