Acupuncture for Chronic Pain

I regularly work with my clients using acupuncture for chroinc pain, especially addressing conditions such as sciatica, joint pain and neck issues such as whiplash, which often respond extremely well to a course of treatment.

Causes of Chronic Pain

Whatever its root cause, acupuncture for chronic pain is a tried and tested treatment/therapy. Chronic can pain can have many causes ranging from over-training during exercise, repetitive strain injury, stress, inflammation, as well as the more obvious causes such as a sustaining a fall or being in an accident.

Chronic Pain and Stress

Being in chronic pain is in itself very stressful and can be exhausting, especially if sleep is regularly disturbed. An acupuncture treatment can also improve these associated issues alongside addressing the pain, bringing a return to feeling more balanced and energised as well as improved mobility.

In my experience a lot of my clients’ symptoms have been exacerbated by stress and the management of stress is an important part of the treatment along with dealing with local areas of pain.
