Acupuncture is a safe, drug-free intervention in which sterile needles are painlessly inserted at particular points on the body to relieve the symptoms of various conditions. The stimulation of the needles results in the production of natural pain-relieving chemicals, such as endorphins, (melatonin to promote sleep and serotonin to promote relaxation and wellbeing). These chemicals assist the body’s healing process and can be used as a precursor to other rehabilitative modalities such as graded strengthening and conditioning programs, giving the body a better chance of responding efficiently and quickly to therapy. Our Physiotherapists are recognized by the UK’s regulating body AACP and have regular CPD in acupuncture to improve their competency.
