Acupuncture For Pain
One of the most common reasons for people choosing acupuncture is to treat pain - it is fantastic for treating muscle pain, joint pain, chronic aches or an acute injury.
Acupuncture encourages healing, releases tension and reduces pain, both in the short term and through continued sessions to focus on tackling the root cause.
Acupuncture also improves range of movement, flexibility and can increase energy levels and general vitality.
In 2021, The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), stated in their official guidance, the benefits of acupuncture as a non-pharmaceutical treatment for chronic pain.
Effects can be felt after just one session, though we would always recommend a number of sessions to ensure more long-term improvement - with repeated treatment typically needed for more chronic conditions.
Treatment can also include other modalities such as cupping and guasha, which are excellent for moving stagnation, relieving tension and bringing new blood and energy to an affected area.
