More about Acupuncture
Western Medicine Acupuncture is a modern approach that merges traditional acupuncture techniques with scientific understanding, creating a powerful therapeutic tool for holistic well-being. At Quay Kinetics Physio, we offer Western Medicine Acupuncture as part of our comprehensive services, aiming to provide you with a balanced and effective approach to musculoskeletal health.
How Western Medicine Acupuncture Can Benefit You:
Pain Relief: Western Medicine Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body. This process stimulates the body's natural pain-relieving mechanisms, releasing endorphins and promoting a sense of relaxation. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain or acute discomfort, acupuncture can offer relief.
Muscle Relaxation: Acupuncture can effectively reduce muscle tension by enhancing blood circulation and promoting relaxation. It's an excellent choice for individuals seeking relief from muscle stiffness, knots, or spasms.
Enhanced Healing: By promoting circulation and improving energy flow, acupuncture can aid the body's natural healing processes. It can support tissue repair and regeneration, helping you recover from injuries more efficiently.
Stress Reduction: Western Medicine Acupuncture is renowned for its stress-reducing benefits. The process triggers the release of neurotransmitters that help regulate mood and reduce anxiety, leaving you with a profound sense of calm.
Balanced Well-Being: Acupuncture doesn't just target physical ailments; it also addresses the mind-body connection. It can help balance your energy, improve sleep quality, and promote an overall sense of well-being.

How does Acupuncture work?
Acupuncture stimulates the body to produce endorphins and oxytocin, its own pain and stress-relieving chemicals. It may promote sleep by stimulating the release of melatonin in the body, and may encourage a sense of well-being by stimulating the release of serotonin. Acupuncture also stimulates nerve fibres to block out pain, signals and helps to reduce the sensitivity of tendon points in the body.
