About Acupuncture

Western medical acupuncture and dry needling are evidence-based techniques commonly used alongside Physiotherapy to reduce pain, ease muscle tension, support natural healing, and improve mobility.

Acupuncture complements Physiotherapy by regulating the body’s neurophysiological response to pain. An increasing body of clinical research supports its effectiveness in managing a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, muscular tension, joint dysfunction, tension headaches, and tendinitis.

How Does It Work?

Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine, sterile, disposable needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. This process improves circulation, reduces pain sensitivity, reduces muscle tension and promotes overall wellness.

Acupuncture FAQs

Your Questions, Answered

The number and frequency of sessions depend on your unique needs and condition. We typically recommend one or two appointments per week at the beginning to help you experience the benefits sooner. Many clients notice improvements within five to six treatments, while some feel relief after just one or two sessions. For ongoing wellness, some choose to incorporate regular acupuncture into their health routine to maintain balance and vitality.
We understand that needles can feel intimidating, but acupuncture is a gentle and comfortable therapy for most people. You might feel light sensations such as tingling, warmth, a light pinch or a soft dull ache during treatment.
While some clients experience relief right away, most benefit from multiple sessions over several weeks for lasting improvements. Everyone’s body responds differently, and we’ll tailor your treatment to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
The number of treatments varies depending on your health goals and how your body responds. Generally, a course of 4-8 sessions is recommended, and we’ll work closely with you to create a personalised plan designed for your unique journey.
We currently only offer acupuncture in our Norwich city location, along with our other services.
In Physiotherapy, acupuncture serves as a complementary treatment that helps relieve pain and supports healing from musculoskeletal conditions. Our current understanding is that acupuncture can desensitise the nervous system, encourage the release of natural pain-relievers, reduce muscle tension and boost blood flow to the affected areas,  all helping your body’s natural recovery.
