Acupuncture

Every patient will be assessed by a Chartered physiotherapist and a specific medical diagnosis will be given. Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into various points in the body depending on the condition being treated. This is usually painless. The duration of treatment depends on the nature of the problem. Occasionally manual or low voltage electrical stimulation is applied to assist the process. The number of needles varies but may only be two or three. Acupuncture may be used in conjunction with other treatment techniques such as manual therapy and therapeutic exercise.
