How acupuncture helps with pain
Acupuncture stimulates nerves and muscles, which can encourage the body to release its own pain-relieving chemicals, relax tight muscles and trigger points, and improve circulation to stiff joints. Depending on your condition, we may combine it with cupping and simple stretches to do at home.
Working with your doctor
Please bring any X-ray, MRI or medical reports to your consultation. Acupuncture works well alongside physiotherapy and medical care. If you have sudden severe pain, numbness, weakness or loss of bladder control, see a doctor immediately.
