Evidence-Based Pain Relief. Acupuncture and dry needling offer scientifically-proven benefits for pain relief and accelerated recovery, making them valuable additions to physiotherapy treatment here at ARC Physio. Research demonstrates that acupuncture significantly reduces inflammation and pain while stimulating the body's natural healing mechanisms.
Acupuncture works in many ways, on way is by triggering the release of endorphins and improving blood flow to affected tissues. Clinical studies have shown acupuncture is able to reduce chronic pain by up to 50% compared to standard care alone. Dry needling specifically targets myofascial trigger points, providing rapid relief from muscle tension and stiffness.
Integrating acupuncture into physiotherapy treatment aims to accelerate recovery times by addressing both pain symptoms and underlying issues. Using strategically placed needles at specific points we aim to providing immediate relief where other treatments have failed.
Our comprehensive approach combines needle therapy with targeted exercise programmes designed to prevent symptom recurrence. Research indicates that combined acupuncture and exercise therapy produces superior long-term outcomes than either treatment alone.
Whether treating sports injuries, chronic pain conditions, or workplace-related discomfort, acupuncture and dry needling offer safe, effective solutions for faster return to activities you enjoy.
