Musculoskeletal Acupuncture is a modern adaptation of traditional Chinese acupuncture, refined to meet the needs of modern clinical practice, targeting specific anatomical structures to address pain, inflammation, and restricted movement.
Backed by a growing body of scientific evidence, MSK acupuncture stimulates the nervous system to release natural pain-relieving and healing chemicals aiding the recovery from chronic pain, stiffness or persistent pain.

HOW WE CAN HELP
Acupuncture works through the needles stimulating the nerves in both the skin and muscular fibres to provide a range of natural painkillers such as endorphins and serotonin, targeting a signal to the brain changing the way in which pain signals are received.
What’s included
Fine, sterile needles are inserted into one or more pain-points, depending on your needs.
Needles are left to stimulate the muscular fibres one of two ways – manually (your therapist stimulates by moving the needle) or with a low voltage electrical stimulation
Treatment is tailored to you. The number of needles, placement and stimulation if individual to your needs and may differ time to time to ensure the optimal result.
The goal is to stimulate the nerves in your skin and muscles, causing your body to release natural pain suppressors (such as endorphins and serotonin), which alter how pain signals are processed in the spinal cord and brain.

FAQs
Does it hurt?
Acupuncture is generally not painful; however some may experience a mild tingling or dull ache, which is typically brief and considered a sign that the treatment is working.
Is it safe?
Yes, acupuncture is very safe when performed by a properly trained and qualified practitioner. We use single-use, sterile needles, and our practitioners are trained to the highest standards with recognition by appropriate Governing bodies. The risk of adverse effects is minimal, especially compared to many medications or invasive procedures.
How long for acupuncture to take effect?
The effects of acupuncture can vary from person to person. Some people feel relief after just one session, especially for acute conditions, while others may need several treatments to experience noticeable improvement. Acupuncture is available within physiotherapy sessions and independently. This will be discussed with you by your practitioner if seen to be an appropriate course of treatment.
