Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a treatment derived from ancient Chinese medicine. Fine needles are inserted at certain sites in the body for therapeutic or preventative purposes. Pain relief is achieved through stimulating the brain and spinal cord to produce natural pain-relieving chemicals, such as endorphins, melatonin to promote sleep and serotonin to promote wellbeing.
​Acupuncture is carried out by physiotherapists who are members of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP).​​
