Acupuncture

Our team at goPhysio includes a number of physios who are experienced & highly trained acupuncturists, specialising in the treatment of pain & injury with acupuncture. Alongside other physio techniques, acupuncture is very effective at treating many conditions including back & neck pain, muscle & sporting injuries. The physiotherapist will commonly include acupuncture into a treatment session alongside other more common treatments.

We specialise in using the 'traditional Chinese' and 'myofsacial' methods of acupuncture. We also use 'electro-acupuncture', where a safe electrical current is passed through the acupuncture needles. Electro-acupuncture is a modern, highly specialised treatment that amplifies the overall effectiveness of acupuncture, making it extremely effective at treating pain and we get great results from it.

All our physiotherapists are members of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP) and are covered by comprehensive professional liability insurance. Acupuncture is completely 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.
