Care For Sport :: Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of medicine having been used in China for over 3000 years.  Research has shown that acupuncture stimulates the brain to produce natural pain relieving chemicals - endorphins - which help the body to heal itself.

At Care For Sport acupuncture is used by Doctors and Chartered Physiotherapists to:-

Relieve pain for conditions such as back pain, neck pain, arthritic knee pain, frozen shoulder and others.

Reduce muscle tension - "myofascial release techniques" which help regain normal movement patterns, particularly good for whiplash injuries and sciatica.

To stimulate tendon healing - "periosteal pecking techniques" which are ideal for the treatment of stubborn tennis elbow or patella tendon problems.

Only single use disposable needles are used in the clinic and acupuncture will only be used after full assessment to make sure it is appropriate for you and that you are happy to try it.  Unfortunately, acupuncture does not work for everyone but research has shown that 70% of people gain pain relief with acupuncture.

Acupuncture is a safe and virtually painless technique which works well with other physiotherapy modalities to reduce pain and regain function - helping you do all that you want to.
