Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the oldest and most commonly used medical procedures in the world, originating in China more than 2,000 years ago.
Acupuncture is best known for its role in pain management, but also has a balancing & regulating effect on the neuro-physiological system of the body, influencing all body functions.
People can experience acupuncture differently, but most feel no or minimal pain as the needles are inserted.
At Active Health QEII acupuncture is used by some or our Physiotherapists for a range of conditions such as:
- Acute trauma
- Swelling
- Sprained joints
- Strained muscles and tendons
- Soft tissue injury
- Spinal dysfunction
If it is appropriate for your treatment your consultant will discuss the option of acupuncture.
