What is Medical Acupuncture?

"The only person I’d trust to sort my back problems out so knowledgable and well worth the money! Amazing Results" - Shanaz Kauser

Medical Acupuncture or dry needling is the practice of inserting fine needles into the skin and underlying tissues to reduce pain and tension within an affected area using western medical knowledge to stimulate the bodies own pain reducing pathways. It is based, however, on the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practice of Acupuncture where fine needles are inserted into the skin at specific points, meridians, to maintain the flow of Qi through the body and therefore keeping the body healthy.

Medical Acupuncture is an effective treatment for headaches & migrains, tight muscles, tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, sciatica and arthritis to name but a few. Used alongside other manual therapy techniques it can provide longlasting relief to chronic complaints with a more gentle hand than is required with other techniques .
