Acupuncture

AcupunctureAcupuncture is one of the many skills used within physiotherapy as an integrated approach to the management of pain, inflammation and as a means of enhancing the body's own healing chemicals in order to aid recovery and enhance rehabilitation. Acupuncture within physiotherapy is used within the background of clinical and research evidence.

Research shows that acupuncture stimulates the brain to produce natural pain relieving chemicals (endorphins). Many Physios use acupuncture as part of their treatment programmes.

Our physios are experienced & highly trained acupuncturists, specialising in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders with acupuncture. Alongside other physio techniques, acupuncture is very effective at treating many conditions including back & neck pain, muscle & sporting injuries. Your physiotherapist will select the most appropriate treatment for you based on the thorough assessment of your condition

We specialise in using the “traditional Chinese” method & the “myofsacial” methods of acupuncture.
All our physiotherapists are members of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP) and are covered by comprehensive professional liability insurance. Acupuncture is safe when practised by a member of the AACP because of the strict hygiene guidelines, training courses and educational updates required to stay on the membership register.
