Acupuncture/Medical Acupuncture/IMS/Dry needling

Medical Acupuncture and Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) is the stimulation of specific tight or poorly functioning muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves in the body. Hair-thin needles are gently inserted into the body with the intention of releasing trigger points/ knots and restoring proper neurological function to the surrounding structure. It aims to reduce pain (decreasing the need for medication in some cases) and rapidly speeds up recovery.


Medical Acupuncture can help treat conditions such as:

  • Frozen Shoulder

  • Jaw/ Facial pain

  • Neurological conditions/ Neuropathies

  • Low Back Pain/Sciatica

  • Headaches & Neck pain

  • Sports Injuries

  • Stress and Anxiety Management

  • Osteoarthritis

  • Numbness and Tingling related conditions

  • Wrist and Elbow Conditions, including ‘Tennis’ Elbow and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

  • Chronic Pain, Complex Injuries
