Acupuncture involves inserting very fine needles into specific points in the skin, underlying tissues and muscles, or into certain trigger points. 

The needles stimulate the sensory nerves under the skin and within the muscles, which promotes muscle relaxation, improve blood circulation, and trigger the release of endorphins - your body's natural pain relievers.

The number of needles and length of time they are inserted for will vary depending on the condition being treated.

Acupuncture can be used to treat:

• Back pain
• Sciatica
• Neck and shoulder pain
• Tennis elbow
• Knee pain
• Heel pain (Plantar fasciitis)
• Achilles tendonitis
• Tension headaches and migraines
