ACUPUNCTURE

We are pleased to now offer acupuncture as part of our comprehensive physiotherapy services at Hallamshire Physiotherapy.

Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment method rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and supported by modern clinical research. It involves the insertion of very fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to help stimulate the body's natural healing processes, relieve pain, and restore function.

How Acupuncture Helps

Acupuncture works by:

  • Stimulating nerves, muscles, and connective tissue
  • Enhancing blood circulation and reducing inflammation
  • Triggering the release of natural painkillers (endorphins and serotonin)
  • Improving nervous system regulation

Evidence-Based Benefits

Clinical research and guidelines from organisations such as the NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy support the use of acupuncture for:

  • Chronic pain conditions such as lower back pain, neck pain, osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia
  • Tension-type headaches and migraines
  • Sports injuries and musculoskeletal issues, including tendonitis, joint pain, and muscle tightness
  • Stress-related symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety, and fatigue

Acupuncture is often used alongside other physiotherapy techniques such as manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation to maximise recovery and overall wellbeing.
