What is Acupuncture Treatment?

Acupuncture is an evidence-based treatment that involves the insertion of very fine sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate healing, reduce pain and restore normal function. At Physio Experts, our HCPC-registered practitioners offer both traditional acupuncture and dry needling — a Western, anatomy-based approach targeting trigger points directly.

Acupuncture works by stimulating the nervous system, releasing natural pain-relieving chemicals, improving circulation to injured tissues and reducing inflammation. It is particularly effective when used alongside physiotherapy as part of a comprehensive treatment programme.

Sports injuries with persistent muscle tightness or trigger points

Effective Pain Relief

Stimulates release of endorphins and serotonin — the body's natural pain-relieving chemicals — providing significant lasting relief.

Reduces Muscle Tension

Dry needling directly targets trigger points and tight muscle bands, releasing tension and restoring normal function.

Neurological Benefits

Modulates the nervous system — clinically effective for neurological pain conditions, headaches and migraines.

Acupuncture Treatment — FAQs

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most patients feel little or no pain. You may feel a mild tingling, warmth or dull ache when the needle reaches the target point — this is called ‘de qi’ and is a good sign.

How many sessions will I need?

Most conditions require 4-8 sessions for significant improvement. Your practitioner will give you a clear timeline after your initial assessment.

Is acupuncture safe?

Yes — extremely safe when performed by HCPC-registered practitioners using single-use sterile needles.

What conditions do you treat with acupuncture?

Back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, sciatica, frozen shoulder, headaches, sports injuries and neurological conditions.

Can it be combined with physiotherapy?

Yes — this is our preferred approach. Acupuncture and physiotherapy together produce significantly better outcomes.
