Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a safe and well-regulated treatment when performed by qualified professionals, such as those at Chatham Physiotherapy. Our practitioners adhere to strict hygiene standards and use sterile, single-use needles. Side effects are generally minimal and may include temporary soreness or minor bruising at the needle insertion sites. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure and report feeling relaxed and rejuvenated after their session.

The number of acupuncture sessions needed varies depending on the individual and the specific condition being treated. Some patients may experience immediate relief after just one session, while others might require multiple treatments to achieve optimal results. At Chatham Physiotherapy, our practitioners will conduct a thorough assessment and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. They will closely monitor your progress and adjust the plan as needed to ensure you receive the most effective care.

Acupuncture has been found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions, including musculoskeletal disorders, headaches, stress, insomnia, digestive issues, and more. It works by stimulating specific points on the body, known as acupoints, which are connected to various internal systems and organs. By targeting these points, acupuncture therapy can help restore balance and promote the body's natural healing process. At Chatham Physiotherapy, our practitioners will assess your individual needs and develop a personalized treatment plan to address your specific health concerns, maximizing the potential benefits of acupuncture for your well-being.
