How can acupuncture help?
After a full assessment with one of the specialist physiotherapists at Physio.co.uk, we will see whether acupuncture may be suited to help you as part of your treatment. Single use fine needles are used at various ‘trigger’ points on the body depending on your symptoms and this will help to stimulate the flow of energy.
By restoring the energy balance of the body, this will create an effective environment to enhance the healing process and reduce any pain. The needles are very fine and will only be inserted at the surface of the skin and although a dull ache may be felt, you should not experience any pain.
At Physio.co.uk, the physiotherapists will combine acupuncture with other treatments to try and achieve the best possible outcome.
