Acupuncture is a highly effective complementary technique for treating pain. At FisioEscòcia we use it as support within a physiotherapy plan, to relieve muscular and joint discomfort, reduce inflammation and help the treated area relax. It is always performed by a chartered professional with specific training.
What is it used for?
Acupuncture involves placing very fine needles at specific points on the body. It is a barely uncomfortable procedure that helps modulate pain and improve the body’s response to certain conditions.
- Chronic joint and muscle pain
- Neck and back tension and knots
- Tension-type headaches
- Inflammatory conditions and persistent pain
- Support in injury recovery
Integrated into your treatment
We do not see acupuncture as a stand-alone treatment, but as one more tool that we add to manual therapy and therapeutic exercise when it can help you. At your first visit we assess whether it is right for your case and how to combine it with the rest of your treatment.
