Acupuncture Clinic

Acupuncture has been used within healthcare since 1984 and is a valuable tool for managing pain, soft tissue healing and other physical and mental imbalances. The use of acupuncture and dry needling techniques as an adjunct to traditional physiotherapeutic applications is well established and popular among physiotherapists and patients alike. The effects of acupuncture normally build up with consecutive treatments, and a course of treatment is usually required.
