Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years as a natural form of pain relief and healing. At Faithh Physiotherapy, our AACP-registered practitioners combine traditional Chinese acupuncture with modern physiotherapy for exceptional results.
How Does Acupuncture Work?
Acupuncture involves inserting very fine needles into specific points on the body. These points correspond to pathways (meridians) through which energy flows. Stimulating these points can relieve pain by triggering the release of endorphins, reducing inflammation, and improving blood circulation.
What Conditions Can Acupuncture Treat?
Our patients find acupuncture particularly effective for:
- Chronic pain — back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain
- Tension headaches and migraines
- Muscle tension and stress-related pain
- Joint stiffness and arthritis
- Sports injuries
- Post-surgical recovery
Does It Hurt?
This is the most common question we get. The needles used in acupuncture are extremely fine — much thinner than injection needles. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild tingling or dull ache. Many find the experience deeply relaxing.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Most patients notice improvement after 3-4 sessions. A typical course of treatment is 6-8 sessions, though this varies depending on the condition being treated.
Why Choose Faithh Physiotherapy for Acupuncture?
Our practitioners hold M.D. qualifications in Acupuncture and are registered with the AACP. We combine acupuncture with physiotherapy for a comprehensive approach to pain management.
