Our Acupuncture blends musculoskeletal assessment and rehabilitation with Traditional Chinese Medicine focusing on pain relief.
Combining acupuncture with physical therapy exercises for musculoskeletal conditions is beneficial as it provides comprehensive patient understanding and enhanced treatment efficacy. This integrative approach not only addresses symptoms but also supports the body's natural healing processes, promoting overall wellness and long-term health benefits for the patient.
Acupuncture, a therapeutic technique from Traditional Chinese Medicine, is recognised in both western and eastern perspectives. From a western approach, scientific studies support its effectiveness in managing conditions like chronic back pain, migraines, and osteoarthritis. It stimulates nerves, muscles, and connective tissue, triggering the release of endorphins and other neurochemicals that reduce pain and promote healing. From a holistic viewpoint, Acupuncture aims to restore balance and stimulate energy. Targeting Qi, meridians and emotional wellbeing through the interconnectedness of body systems, Acupuncture emphasises personalised treatment plans tailored to each individual’s unique health condition.
