About Our Acupuncture
How acupuncture is used here
Our practitioners needle specific points on the body to ease pain, reduce tension and improve circulation. The points used depend on your symptoms, so the plan is set out for you individually.
What is acupuncture?
A traditional Chinese practice used for many centuries in the management of musculoskeletal pain, chronic pain conditions, headaches and digestive concerns. Ultra-fine needles are inserted at specific points to regulate the flow of energy, known as qi, through channels called meridians.
How it works
Needle insertion is understood to prompt the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain relievers. Treatment is generally very safe. Our practitioners use sterile, single-use stainless-steel needles and are trained in precise point location.
Who it is for
Patients with musculoskeletal pain, chronic pain, headaches, digestive concerns, stress or anxiety. Acupuncture is also used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medical treatment, or as a non-invasive alternative to medication.
Standalone or part of a treatment plan
Your practitioner may recommend acupuncture within your physiotherapy or chiropractic plan to support recovery. A physiotherapy or chiropractic appointment is not required in order to book an acupuncture session with our team.
Also Available
Fire cupping
Alongside acupuncture, our practitioners offer fire cupping, in which a vacuum created inside a small glass bulb is applied to the body to improve blood flow and circulation.
What is fire cupping?
Small glass cups are applied to the skin after a small flame heats the air inside, creating a vacuum. The suction stimulates blood flow and circulation, and the technique has been used for centuries to reduce muscle tension and inflammation.
What to expect during a session
Your practitioner may leave the cups stationary or move them across the body, which produces a massaging effect. The process is explained as it takes place and any questions are addressed during the session.
Who it is for
Patients experiencing muscle tension, stress, inflammation or reduced circulation. Fire cupping complements acupuncture and massage therapy as part of a broader treatment plan.
Benefits
Increased blood flow and circulation, relief of muscle tension and inflammation, and stimulation of the body's natural healing processes.
Your acupuncturists
Our Registered Acupuncturists also practise as a Chiropodist and a Massage Therapist, which allows treatment to be combined within a single plan.
