At The Livewell Clinic, while the core disciplines form our primary focus, our team of hard working and highly dedicated healthcare professionals also provide a range of additional services to complement treatment and provide you with extra support to enable you to get the most targeted help.
Acupuncture
All of our team are trained in Acupuncture (clinically known as dry needling), which is often used alongside other techniques to complement osteopathic/ physiotherapy and massage therapy, or as standalone to target a specific area of pain (a useful addition to other therapies for chronic lower-back pain). It is used to treat myofascial pain and dysfunction and is based on Western anatomical and neurophysiological principles. Note that this is not the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) technique of acupuncture.
How does it work? It involves sticking fine needles into points on the body. It relieves pain by diverting or changing the painful sensations, which are sent to the brain from damaged tissues and also by stimulating the body’s own painkillers (endorphins and encephalins). This pain killing effect may only last a short time in the beginning, but repeated treatment (approx. 6 weekly sessions) can bring long-term benefit.
Who can benefit? Conditions which respond to dry needling include:
Headaches | Frozen Shoulder | Tennis Elbow | Muscle Spasms | Fibromyalgia | Sciatic Pain | Hip Pain | Knee Pain
