Sports injuries
Headaches and migraines
Stress-related tension
We use fine, sterile needles to stimulate specific points in the body, which can help relieve pain, improve circulation, relax muscles and promote healing. Acupuncture is often combined with physiotherapy techniques as part of a personalised treatment plan.

How Acupuncture is performed
Your physiotherapist shall assess the cause of your problem and discuss with you whether acupuncture can aid your treatment.
Lying in a comfortable position, single use, sterilised needles of various lengths and widths will be placed into your skin at specific points based on your condition.
You may feel a tingling sensation as they are inserted into your skin but it should not be painful.
The physio assesses the best places to place the needles with treatment lasting from 5 minutes to 30 minutes depending on the problem being treated.
Throughout treatment, your physio might stimulate the needles with a little twist. You may also have some manual therapy before or after your acupuncture session.
