Acupuncture is an integral part of the rapid growth of complementary therapy in the UK. It is a very well researched system of healing and pain relief. Acupuncture involves fine needles inserted at key points of the body that relate to different organs. It stimulates nerves in the skin and muscle producing a variety of effects. It Increases the body’s release of natural painkillers (endorphin and serotonin). It produces an improved sense of wellbeing.

Our trained and experienced physiotherapists have additional qualifications to carry out acupuncture treatment and use this as an adjunct to provide effective pain relief for joint and muscle pain.

The needles used are sterile, pre-packed, and disposable. There is no risk of infection.
