The Institute of Sport Physio Discusses the Benefits of Acupuncture

Based on the needs of a patient, acupuncture may be included as part of a physio treatment approach. Acupuncture helps patients to achieve pain relief through the stimulation of the nervous system which triggers the body’s natural ability to produce pain relieving neuro-chemicals. Physiotherapists in Takapuna or anywhere else use solid needles with fine points and with varying widths and lengths. Needles are individually sealed in a plastic casing for single use then disposed of at the end of treatment. A number of needles may be used in a treatment session and will be left in position for a number of minutes before removal, depending on thje nature of the injury.
