Acupuncture

All our physiotherapists are trained in the use of acupuncture. Acupuncture is an effective form of treatment that combines the principles of acupuncture and physiotherapy to promote healing and alleviate pain.

This specialised approach involves the strategic insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the brain to produce natural pain-relieving chemicals called endorphins. These endorphins have been shown to be stronger than morphine and can aid sleep and reduce pain without the need for medication. The use of acupuncture in physiotherapy can also aid in reducing inflammation, increasing blood flow, and loosening tight muscles, ultimately enhancing the overall effectiveness of physiotherapy treatment.

With its evidence-based approach and wide range of benefits, acupuncture in physiotherapy emerges as a valuable therapeutic option for various conditions such as knee pain, back pain, sciatica, tension headaches and tennis elbow to name a few.

Our method of Acupuncture is the western method. We use Acupuncture as a modality along side other treatments for Physiotherapy only.
