Acupuncture: A Complementary Approach to Your Care
At our clinic, we believe in a holistic approach to your health. In addition to traditional physiotherapy techniques, we offer acupuncture as a complementary therapy for pain management and overall well-being.
How can acupuncture help?
- Pain Relief: Acupuncture may effectively reduce pain associated with conditions like back pain, neck pain, and arthritis.
- Reduced Inflammation: Acupuncture may help to reduce inflammation in the body, which can contribute to pain and muscle tension.
- Improved Blood Flow: Acupuncture may stimulate the release of endorphins, natural painkillers produced by the body. It may also improve blood flow to the affected area, aiding in healing and reducing pain.
- Stress Reduction: Acupuncture can have a calming and relaxing effect on the nervous system, which can be beneficial for patients experiencing stress or anxiety related to their pain condition.
What to Expect:
- Qualified Practitioners: Our acupuncturists are fully qualified and registered with relevant professional bodies.
- Thorough Assessment: Before recommending acupuncture, our physiotherapists will conduct a thorough assessment to determine if it’s appropriate for your individual needs and develop a personalised treatment plan.
- Informed Consent: You will be fully informed about the potential benefits and risks of acupuncture before undergoing treatment.
- Integrated Approach: Acupuncture will be integrated seamlessly with other physiotherapy interventions, such as massage, exercise therapy, and manual therapy, to achieve the best possible outcomes.
