About Acupuncture

Acupuncture, known as Dry Needing can be used to help manage inflammation and pain through the insertion of fine sterile needles, promoting the body’s natural healing process. This adaptation of the Chinese method is now used with the up-to-date knowledge of anatomy and physiology, treating a high number of musculoskeletal conditions.

Procedure Details

It involves inserting fine needles at specific points in the body for therapeutic or preventative purposes, stimulating sensory nerves under the skin and in muscles. This leads to the release of natural substances like pain-relieving endorphins.
