Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the insertion of extremely thin medical grade needles at strategic points on your body. A key component of Contemporary Medical Acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain.
Unlike Traditional Chinese Medicine, Contemporary Medical Acupuncture practitioners view the acupuncture points as anatomical points to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. It provides stimulation which boosts your body's natural painkillers, reduces inflammation and increases blood flow.
In general, acupuncture provides:
• Help to reduce pain locally where the needles are inserted and throughout the body.
• A calming effect and promotes a healing response.
• Releases in trigger points.
• Accumulating effects when repeated.
