Acupuncture
A complementary and integrated approach.
After talking with the patient and evaluating each case, we can integrate acupuncture when we consider that it can complement the usual physiotherapy techniques and contribute to the treatment.
Pain and movement
It can help reduce pain and expand range of motion in selected cases.
Well-being
It can also be used as support for relaxation, stress and other symptoms that affect well-being.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture helps on several levels.
Reduces pain
It can act as a natural analgesic and be especially useful in acute pain, such as low back pain, neck pain or hip pain. In some cases it helps to progressively recover movement.
Emotional well-being
It can accompany moments of stress, anxiety or discouragement, and can also be used as support to improve concentration before exams, support smoking cessation or control anxiety related to eating.
Body functionality
Depending on each assessment, it can be used to support digestive, respiratory or sexual symptoms, always within an individualized therapeutic plan.
Your questions answered
Frequently asked questions about acupuncture
Is it going to hurt?
It shouldn’t hurt. The needles are very fine and insertion may feel like a small pinch. If the sensation persists, the needle is adjusted or removed: the treatment should be comfortable.
How long does a session last?
The needles are usually kept in place for about 20 minutes. The frequency is adjusted to each case: it is usually weekly in acute processes and more frequently when symptoms improve.
