Acupuncture

 

Acupuncture/ Dry needling can be used in various conditions such as muscle injuries, neck pain, headaches, back pain, osteoarthritis, shoulder, wrist, elbow, knee and ankle pain and tendinopathy.

Acupuncture is used as an adjunct to other physiotherapy treatment techniques to speed up recovery and to treat longstanding problems. 

Acupuncture helps to link 'maps' in the brain to more distal areas e.g. low back or the leg and can help facillitate quicker return to sport and help to recover from long-term pain.
