Acupuncture and Dry Needling at Physical Healthcare
At Physical Healthcare we provide therapeutic acupuncture services. Acupuncture is an ancient form of Chinese medicine which involves the insertion of thin, flexible needles into the skin at specific points on the body. With almost no side-effects, acupuncture has gained significant popularity in Western medicine for the treatment of many health-related issues.
Certified physiotherapists use acupuncture in conjunction with other treatment techniques, with often rapid and significant results. Acupuncture can be used to:
- decrease pain
- decrease inflammation
- promote tissue healing and regeneration
- restore optimal nerve and muscle function
What conditions is it used for?
Our physiotherapists are in an effective and unique position of being able to combine acupuncture with other treatment methods such as exercise, manipulation and massage. Acupuncture is effective for any conditions requiring pain relief such as back and neck pain, or any in situations where the body needs help with healing, for example a ligament sprain or a torn muscle.
At Physical Healthcare acupuncture can be incorporated into your physiotherapy treatment sessions, at no additional cost.
