ACUPUNCTURE
We offer a range of acupuncture approaches:
​
Orthopaedic Acupuncture
​
A form of classical acupuncture which focuses on the managment of musculoskeletal problems. This treatment includes the use of the ' Chinese meridian system' to help the body to heal.
​
Techniques include needle insertion, needle manipulation, electro-acupunture and Chinese cupping.
​
This is different from Traditional Chinese Acupuncture as a musculoskeletal screnning is used rather than face, pulse and tongue diagnosis. If you require systemic Acupunture we can refer you to practitioners in the SE1 area.
​
Dry Needling (Intra Muscular Stimulation)
​
Western approach used to treate musculoskeletal pain, including myofascial pain syndrome. This follows an anotomical basis to treat tight muscle tissue, known as 'knots' or 'trigger points'.
​
All treatments use very thin sterile single use pins to treat areas enabling relaxation of the nervous and muscular systems which may be over stimulated as a result of injury or imbalance.
​
This treatment has been found beneficial for a range of musculoskeletal problems such as chronic pain, myofascial pain syndrome and muscular pain.
​
This can be integrated into your treatment if needed and you feel comfortable, your wishes are always respected. This can also be offered as a stand alone treatment upon request.

Trevor has attended advanced training with leading authorities in the treatment of myofascial pain including Simeon Niel-Asher and Dr Bob Gerwin (MD).
