Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves
the use of very fine, sterile needles into the skin and tissues. The
needles are only used once. Acupuncture is used to stimulate the body
to produce 'endorphins', chemicals that reduce pain.
Our physiotherapy
and chiropractic staff use 'anatomical' acupuncture, focusing more specifically
on the injured area. This technique is often referred to as 'dry needling'.
We use acupuncture to encourage healing, reduce or relieve pain, release
tight muscles and to improve function to the affected areas of the body.
Acupuncture
is a safe and effective technique often used in conjunction with several
others as part of a complete treatment plan.
