Acupuncture

Pain relief without the need for medication….its no wonder acupuncture has been practiced for centuries.

Acupuncture and Dry Needling are safe, effective and evidenced based methods of relieving pain and restoring function for musculoskeletal pain or myofascial trigger points in muscle.

With the correct application, placing and stimulating a sterile single use needle into the soft tissues can have significant physiological effects on the body. Acupuncture is thought to facilitate the bodies own pain relieving mechanisms leading to improved pain management and function for many musculoskeletal conditions.

At Great Northern, we use a Western medical approach to acupuncture that is backed by scientific evidence and clinical trials. Our trained clinicians participate in ongoing professional development to ensure your treatment aligns with the latest research and highest standard of care.

We also offer Electro acupuncture, Acupressure, trigger point release, myofascial cupping and gua sha, which can be used as alternatives or in conjunction with acupuncture.

Acupuncture has been shown to be effective for:

• Lower back pain
• Osteoarthritis
• Headaches
• Neck pain
• Shoulder pain
• Trigger point pain

“I have always found acupuncture a very useful adjunct to my clinical practice. Being able to significantly reduce pain and improve function without the need for medications which often have many side effects is a real benefit to our patients ”
