At Cheshire Physioactive, acupuncture can be used alongside physiotherapy as part of a personalised approach to managing pain, improving movement and supporting rehabilitation.
Acupuncture has been extensively researched and there is a growing body of clinical evidence supporting its use across a range of pain and musculoskeletal conditions. Evidence suggests it can provide benefits for some people with persistent pain and a variety of musculoskeletal problems, although the effectiveness can vary depending on the condition and individual.
How acupuncture may complement your physiotherapy:
- Help reduce pain and make movement more comfortable
- Help manage muscle tension and sensitivity
- Support improvements in movement and function
- Help some patients engage more effectively with their rehabilitation exercises
- Provide an additional treatment option when pain is persistent or difficult to manage
- Complement hands-on treatment, exercise therapy and rehabilitation
We treat a wide range of musculoskeletal presentations, including muscle and joint pain, sports injuries, persistent pain and rehabilitation following injury or surgery. Your physiotherapist will assess your individual presentation and discuss whether acupuncture is appropriate for you.
A combination approach can often be particularly valuable: reducing symptoms sufficiently to allow you to move, strengthen and rehabilitate effectively, while addressing the underlying factors contributing to your problem.
