Acupuncture, also known as dry needling, is one of the many techniques used within physiotherapy for the management of pain, soft tissue injuries and as a means of enhancing the body’s own healing chemicals to aid recovery and enhance rehabilitation. Acupuncture enhances pain modulation via stimulation of the brain and spinal cord to produce natural pain-relieving chemicals, such as endorphins and melatonin. These chemicals assist the body’s healing process and can be used in conjunction with other soft tissue techniques.

Very safe, we use sterile, single use needles only so there is no risk of infection, and we are highly trained to follow the strictest hygiene standards. Serious side effects are very rare.
The needle sites can produce a slight aching sensation. Minor bleeding or bruising can occur post treatment.
Sometimes drowsiness occurs during or after treatment. If affected, you are advised not to drive. Please ensure you have something to eat and drink a few hours before your treatment.
Yes, we will talk about your history and assess your suitability for acupuncture. You also need to tell us about any medical conditions you may suffer from such as diabetes, heart problems and low blood pressure.
Generally, people require about 3 sessions before we can be certain of an effect. The effect of acupuncture is cumulative and pain relief builds up as the treatment progresses. Usually, a course of 6 or more treatments is required for maximum effect.
