Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves the use of single-use, sterile disposable needles, these needles are inserted in to various points about the area of injury and the body to treat a wide variety of problems. Our physiotherapists use acupuncture to treat a wide range of joint, muscle and ligament injuries.

Acupuncture needles are inserted at specific points in the body the skin at the acupuncture points. The physiotherapist will determine the locations of these points on the basis of an assessment of the cause of the imbalance. A number of needles may be used during each treatment, and these are typically left in position for between 20 and 30 minutes before being removed.

Acupuncture is primarily used for its pain relieving benefits and resolving problems such as tightness or tender points within muscles. Acupuncture can stimulate the release of the body’s own natural pain killers and also change the way pain messages are interpreted or received. There is an ever increase amount of research evidence highlighting the benefits of acupuncture and its use treating pain conditions.
