Effective in a wide range of painful conditions, acupuncture is commonly used to treat musculoskeletal pain in areas such as the back, shoulder, neck and leg. It has been successfully used to treat sports injuries, trapped nerves and muscle strains.

Acupuncture uses fine filiform needles which are inserted into specific points on the body to relive pain or for therapeutic purposes. It is known to increase the body's release of natural painkillers - endorphin and serotonin in the pain pathways of both the spinal cord and brain.

All our needles are single use and sterile and disposed of immediately after use. They are normally left in place for approximately 20 - 30 minutes. You may not be aware of any sensation while the acupuncture needles are being inserted. Once inserted you may feel a dull ache or tingling sensation around the needle point.

Patients often feel very relaxed and heaviness in their limbs during treatment.
