Dry needling & acupuncture with a physiotherapist
Some physiotherapists are qualified to use acupuncture as part of treatment. At our Cambridge clinic we use tiny, disposable (single use) acupuncture needles to help relieve pain and promote healing and better sleep.
Physios rarely use acupuncture alone. We combine acupuncture techniques with other ‘hands-on’ treatments, advice and exercises as part of a full physiotherapy programme designed to help you recover as quickly as possible.
What conditions can be treated with acupuncture?
Physiotherapists often acupuncture to treat sore spots (trigger points) in muscles as well.
There is scientific evidence that acupuncture can be helpful for a number of health conditions including chronic back and neck pain, joint pain such as osteoarthritis and headaches.
