ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a refined, evidence-informed therapy used to support pain relief, reduce muscle tension, and promote the body’s natural healing processes. By stimulating specific points within muscles and connective tissue, acupuncture can help regulate the nervous system, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation.
It is commonly used for conditions such as chronic pain, muscular tightness, headaches, nerve irritation, and stress-related tension. When delivered as part of a carefully considered treatment plan, acupuncture can be a highly effective complement to manual therapy and rehabilitation, supporting recovery, relaxation, and overall wellbeing.
From a medical standpoint, acupuncture works by influencing the nervous system and biochemical pathways involved in pain and inflammation. Needle stimulation can trigger endogenous pain-relieving mechanisms, improve local blood flow, and reduce muscle hyperactivity.
Clinically, acupuncture is often used to support pain management, reduce central sensitisation, and assist with conditions involving chronic tension, nerve irritation, or stress-related dysfunction. It is frequently integrated into multidisciplinary care to enhance treatment tolerance and recovery.
