Acupuncture

At Newbold Verdon Physiotherapy Clinic, acupuncture is delivered by AACP-registered physiotherapists using Western Medical Acupuncture principles. Treatments may incorporate traditional Chinese meridians, muscular trigger points, or auricular (ear) points, tailored to each patient’s needs.

Benefits of Acupuncture

Acupuncture is highly effective for a variety of conditions, including:

  • Musculoskeletal pain: back, neck, shoulder, knee, elbow, trapped nerves, muscle strains, and sports injuries

  • Headaches and migraines

  • Arthritis and rheumatic pain

  • Stress relief, improved sleep, anti-inflammatory effects, and reduced muscle spasms

  • Menopause symptom management and general wellbeing

Research shows that acupuncture, when combined with manual therapy, massage, exercise, or electrotherapy, can enhance rehabilitation outcomes.

What to Expect

  • Initial assessment with a short treatment and personalised plan

  • Goals of treatment and expected outcomes explained, with consent always obtained

  • Insertion of fine, sterile, disposable needles for 10–30 minutes

  • Sensations may vary: none, pin-prick, mild ache, or muscle twitch; occasionally needles are rotated to enhance effect

  • Frequency and duration depend on condition and how long symptoms have persisted

How Acupuncture Works

Fine needles stimulate the brain to release natural pain-relieving chemicals (endorphins and serotonin) and modify pain signal transmission through the nervous system, providing effective relief for both acute and chronic conditions.

Client Feedback

“I experienced noticeable improvements after just the first treatment. The lower back area was less sensitive – it had been sore to touch. Immediately the pain had relieved and I could move without wincing or aching.”
