Acupuncture – Midleton Physiotherapy Clinic

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a component of Traditional Chinese Medicine which has been incorporated into western medical practices in physiotherapy to treat a variety of conditions, both local and systemic and we often use it in conjunction with Physiotherapy for maximum relief and recovery.

Acupuncture treatment accesses the bodies “meridial” or energy system using specific acupuncture points. Treatment is gentle and needles are retained for 20-30 minutes, sometimes heat or electrical stimulation are added for enhanced effect. It can be very helpful in the treatment of chronic pain conditions and arthritis.

What is Dry needling ?

It is the use of acupuncture needles to treat specific localized trigger points in muscles. These consist of areas of increased muscle tension and tightness which can cause local and referred pain. When needled, these areas “relax” thereby relieving pain and allowing normal muscle activity to return. Acupuncture or dry needling are often used here at Midleton Physiotherapy Clinic in combination with Physiotherapy for improved therapeutic response. The best option for you will be discussed with you following your comprehensive assessment and examination.

I first attended Midleton Physio Clinic many years ago after being involved in a road accident. No matter what problem I present with, Ber and her team have always treated me with great professionalism. I have been happy to refer many of my friends and family to the clinic over the years as we are assured of successful diagnosis and treatment for any problem. I recommend Midleton Physio highly.

An excellent professional practice with a friendly caring team of therapists. My family and I have attended the clinic over many years for different reasons ranging from sports injuries to rehabilitation after an accident. Treatments always resulted in relief from pain. We were always included in the process of understanding our injury, how to manage it and prevent it reoccurring in the future I would highly recommend the Midleton physiotherapy clinic

Long hours of work and study at the computer took its toll on my neck, it had totally seized up. Ber and Paddy's professional massage and stretching gradually brought back movement. I got a good exercise plan, adjusted after each treatment. If the strain returns I won't delay booking a treatment. Thank you Paddy, Victoria, Ber and all the staff at your lovely clinic.

I have been attending Midleton Physiotherapy Clinic for the past few years for a reoccurring back injury. I find the professionalism and care given very reassuring. The improvement I feel after each treatment is almost instant and the after care exercises are extremely beneficial. Any questions I have are answered and specific to my personal needs. I cannot recommend highly enough.
