Acupuncture for Musculoskeletal Issues
It is estimated that one in four people suffer from chronic musculoskeletal pain. There is a growing body of evidence to support acupuncture in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, with studies showing pain reduction following acupuncture treatment, increased range of motion, release of endorphins and reduced levels of inflammation. Acupuncture can be helpful for a range of musculoskeletal issues, including:
- Lower back pain, including sciatica and piriformis syndrome
- Neck and shoulder pain (including frozen shoulder)
- Carpal tunnel syndrome)
- Tendonitis and RSI
- Elbow pain (including tennis and golfer’s elbow)
- Fibromyalgia
- Hip pain (including osteoarthritis of the hip)
- Knee pain (including osteoarthritis in the hip)
- Sports injuries
- Strains and sprains
- TMJ (temperomandibular joint) disorder
- Whiplash
