Description
What happens when I see my physiotherapist for acupuncture?
When you first see your physiotherapist, he or she will take your full medical history and ask you about your current health problems. You will be asked to complete a 'consent to treatment' form. Between 1 to 10 needles may be used at a time at an acupuncture session. The number of needles used will vary according to your condition and symptoms. The needles are inserted through the skin either at the sites where you feel pain, away from the pain or a combination of both. The needles are usually left in for a few minutes up to 30 minutes. During the treatment, your physiotherapist may stimulate the needles by gently rotating them. This is done to increase the treatment's effectiveness. The needles are removed at the end of the session. You will then be asked to rest for a few minutes before you leave.
How does acupuncture work?
Acupuncture is one of the many skills employed by Physiotherapists as part of an integrated approach to the management of pain and inflammation. Scientific research and clinical evidence have shown that Acupuncture can reduce pain by stimulating the brain and spinal cord to produce natural pain-relieving chemicals such as endorphins, melatonin (which promotes sleep) and serotonin (to promote wellbeing), to name but a few. These chemicals assist the body's healing processes and offer pain relief as a precursor to other treatments such as manual therapy or exercise in order to aid recovery.
