TREATMENT
Medical
Acupuncture
A Western medical approach using fine needles as part of a broader soft-tissue session. It is always optional, always discussed first, and used only where it adds something useful to the hands-on treatment.
HOW IT IS USED
One technique among several, never the whole plan.
Sometimes used for
-
Persistent areas of muscular tension or sensitivity
-
Areas that have not responded fully to hands-on treatment alone
-
Supporting comfort and movement within a broader treatment plan
Good to know
-
Assessment of movement, comfort and load
-
I use sterile, single-use needles
-
Needles are usually left in place only briefly
-
Acupuncture is completely optional
-
Your health, medication and suitability are discussed beforehand
Responses vary from person to person. Medical acupuncture may support comfort as part of a wider soft-tissue treatment, but it is not presented as a cure for pain or injury.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Only if you want it
Discuss
We talk about whether medical acupuncture is appropriate for you, what it involves and any questions or concerns you may have.
Decide
You choose whether to include it. Saying no changes nothing else about your treatment.
Integrate
Where it is used, acupuncture sits within the hands-on session rather than replacing the rest of your treatment.
