Modern Medical Acupuncture
Modern Medical Acupuncture is a method used to treat certain musculoskeletal disorders through the insertion of fine needles into specific areas of the body.
​
The practitioner applies a deep understanding of modern anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology to identify the issue and determine the most effective treatment. This technique is often used alongside osteopathic or physiotherapy treatments for enhanced results.
​
Acupuncture is generally painless. While some individuals may experience a slight pinch during needle insertion, many feel no sensation at all. Once in place, the needles are left for anywhere between 30 seconds to 30 minutes, depending on the condition being treated.
​
As the needles are single-use and disposable, there is no risk of cross-contamination or infection. Responses to acupuncture vary; some patients feel relaxed following treatment, while others may experience a surge of energy.
