Acupuncture is very effective for reducing pain and inflammation, and is an excellent way to ease discomfort. Warrick has a postgraduate certificate in Acupuncture, and has also completed courses in dry needling and women’s health. Very fine needles are used in specific points on the body. This needling triggers signals in the nervous system, causing increases in the brain’s production of natural painkillers called endorphins. These substances are morphine-like chemicals that influence the body’s perception of pain. We use new, single patient use, sterile needles at each treatment.
Our physiotherapists are able to provide remedial massage and myofascial release techniques to alleviate muscle and joint pain, improve to flexibility, and
revitalise the body.
