Medical acupuncture is a modern, evidence-informed treatment that involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific anatomical points to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.

It works through neurophysiological mechanisms, including modulation of pain pathways, improved local blood flow, reduction of muscle tension, and stimulation of endogenous opioid release.

Medical acupuncture is commonly used to support the management of musculoskeletal pain, including neck and back pain, headaches, tendon disorders, and joint conditions. It can help reduce pain, decrease muscle spasm, improve mobility, and enhance rehabilitation outcomes, making it a valuable adjunct to manual therapy and exercise-based treatment plans.
