Experience the Power of Medical and Neurofunctional Acupuncture at Sporting Edge Physiotherapy

Pain is a distressing experience we all encounter at different points in our lives. It can manifest in several forms, such as a sharp stabbing sensation, a throbbing pulse, a persistent ache or a sudden jolt. However, there are several treatment options available to alleviate such discomforts, and among these, Medical Acupuncture, and its advanced counterpart, Neurofunctional Acupuncture, stand out as some of the most effective.


At Sporting Edge Physiotherapy, we provide both medical and neurofunctional acupuncture treatments, aimed not just at relieving you of your pain but also designed to enhance your overall well-being.


What is Medical and Neurofunctional Acupuncture?


Medical Acupuncture is a therapeutic method that involves inserting ultra-fine needles into specific points (acupoints) on your body. Based on the principles of modern medicine, it acknowledges the body's innate ability to heal itself. By stimulating the nervous system, acupuncture promotes physical and emotional health, boosts immunity, and encourages natural healing.


Neurofunctional Acupuncture, on the other hand, combines traditional acupuncture methods with modern neurology. This form of acupuncture targets specific sites that are linked to the nervous system and muscle function, making it particularly effective for sports injuries, chronic pain, and rehabilitating muscle function.


Why Choose Medical or Neurofunctional Acupuncture?


Here are a few compelling reasons:


1. Pain Relief: Both Medical and Neurofunctional acupuncture activate the body’s nervous system, prompting the release of chemicals that block pain signals and stimulate the healing process.


2. Enhanced Physical Performance: These procedures align your body and mind, leading to improved balance, coordination, flexibility, and strength.


3. Mental Well-being: These treatments help reduce stress hormones and promote the release of endorphins, significantly improving your emotional health.


4. Rehabilitation: Acupuncture can enhance the effectiveness of physiotherapy treatments for rehabilitation from sports injuries or post-surgical recovery.


The Acupuncture Experience at Sporting Edge Physiotherapy


The idea of needles might seem intimidating. However, the needles used in acupuncture are significantly thinner than regular needles. Upon insertion, you might feel a subtle prick – not painful, but perhaps a little unusual.


Once the needles are in place – depending on your condition – they remain there for approximately 20-30 minutes. Some patients describe the sensation as a kind of heaviness, numbness, tingling, or mild discomfort in the needle area.


Our priority at Sporting Edge Physiotherapy is your comfort, recovery, and overall well-being. Our highly trained Physiotherapists are adept in the art and science of both medical and neurofunctional acupuncture. We aim to not only alleviate your pain but also identify and treat the root cause to provide lasting solutions.


Before initiating any acupuncture treatment, we conduct a thorough assessment of your condition, considering your medical history, lifestyle, and specific needs. Based on this information, we develop a customized treatment plan exclusive to you.
