Acupuncture

 Acupuncture is a form of treatment that involves the insertion of thin needles into the body. It has been practiced by the Chinese for thousands of years and has become a popular form of treatment in manual therapy, especially for pain relief. The insertion of the needle into the skin and connective tissue stimulates our nervous system to release natural pain-killers known as endorphins. Acupuncture also acts by creating a very small amount of damage in the area to re-initiate a healing response. Acupuncture is used to treat many conditions including:    

• Low back pain 
• Sciatica 
• Hip Bursitis 
• Headaches 
• Neck Pain 
• Shoulder pain including rotator cuff 
• Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow) 
• Tendonitis 
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome 
• Knee pain including Osteoarthritis
