Orthopaedic Acupuncture
Orthopaedic acupuncture focuses on musculoskeletal pain and soft tissue conditions. It utilises a range of diagnostic techniques, including: orthopaedic testing, range of movement assessment, pain referral patterning, and a thorough physical examination to determine which muscle groups are affected and require treatment. An array of needling styles and therapeutic soft tissue mobilisation is used to relieve pain, restore muscle function, and correct structural imbalances where possible.
Motor Point Acupuncture
Motor neurons control voluntary and involuntary movements, and every muscle in the body is innervated by a motor neuron; this junction is known as the "motor point". Over a period of time, when a muscle is overused, there is a build up of a neurotransmitter, acetylcholine (Ach), at the motor point; Ach is responsible for muscle contraction. By stimulating the affected motor point with an electrical pulse it rapidly depletes the excess Ach. This process alleviates pain and neurological dysfunction whist relieving muscle inhibition and restoring proper muscle functioning.
Dry Needling
Dry needling involves the insertion of acupuncture pins into latent or active myofascial trigger points, commonly known as "muscle knots". The intention is to elicit a localised twitch response which is key to a positive therapeutic outcome. Releasing tigger points elongates the muscle and restores muscle elasticity, whilst reducing pain and reinstates proper muscle function.

Traditional Chinese Medicine
When it comes to dysfunction in the body, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) tends to look at the bigger picture by taking a holistic approach to health and wellbeing. By treating the person, rather than focusing on the disease, TCM is able to address multiple concerns simultaneously whilst encouraging balance from within the body.
Remedial Massage
Remedial massage encompasses deep tissue massage with myofasical release techniques and trigger point therapy to relieve musculoskeletal pain, restore range of movement, and reduce tension.
For a longer lasting therapeutic outcome, we recommend that remedial massage be coupled with orthopaedic acupuncture.
