Acupuncture

Our Physiotherapists may discuss the use of acupuncture as part of your Physiotherapy treatment. Acupuncture stimulates the body's vital energy, which flows in channels below the skin. This then stimulates the body's own healing response to restore a natural state of balance. It is effective for headaches & migraines, pain from arthritic joints, whiplash, back & neck pain, sciatica and joint & muscle pain & spasm.

Some of our Physiotherapists use a modified acupuncture based on traditional chinese medicine, whilst others use a technique called 'dry needling'. Needles are sterile and are disposed of following a strict sharps protocol.
