Acupuncture

We practice Western Acupuncture, using traditional Chinese methods along with muscle trigger points in order to help with painful musculo-skeletal conditions.

When nerve pathways are stimulated it can help to trigger the natural pain relief systems in our body. The most evidence for acupuncture has been for chronic (persistent) pain, and it is currently recommended by NICE (the National Institute for Clinical Evidence) for persistent pain, migraine and tension-type headaches.

Vicki has provided physiotherapy acupuncture treatments for many years after taking Acupuncture Foundation Training at Southport Hospital, and completes regular evidence based updates to her practice to ensure patients are receiving the most appropriate treatment for their needs.
