About this service
Acupuncture uses very fine, sterile single-use needles placed at specific points. At the clinic it is used alongside physiotherapy, usually to help with muscle tension and pain so exercise is more comfortable.
The physiotherapist explains what will be done, how many points are involved and what you may feel. Suitability is confirmed in the assessment.
