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. |
