Acupuncture is the insertion of ultra-fine needles (the width of a human hair) into certain points of the body depending on the nature of the injury or pain.

It is used as a means of reducing pain through production of natural, pain relieving chemicals. Acupuncture also stimulates nerve fibers to block out pain signals and helps to reduce the sensitivity of tender points in the body. We also utilise it to reach some deeper points we may struggle to reach without the use of needles or particularly tight bands in muscles, these assist the body healing process and offer pain relieve as a precursor for other manual or exercise therapy.

We recommend this treatment for a range of injuries;

  • Osteoarthristis
  • Joint pain
  • Chronic lower back pain
  • Chronic pain
  • Migraines
  • Neck pain
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Tendonistis
  • Back pain

All our physiotherapists at The Physiotherapy Clinic have undertaken specialist postgraduate training in acupuncture, and we follow strict hygiene protocols to ensure the treatment is administered safely and effectively.
