Modern Acupuncture

Modern Acupuncture refers to the insertions and manipulations of fine needles into points on the body. New, sterile single-use needles are used on each patient.

Modern Acupuncture is based on modern anatomy such as muscles, ligaments and joints. It has no element of mysticism or association with meridian lines. Depending on the nature of your problem- acupuncture can be applied as a sole treatment method or can be combined with osteopathy. Combination therapy usually works well at speeding up recovery from aches, pain, stiffness and injuries.

Osteo NHC only use new, sterile single-use needles.
