Acupunture

Acupuncture is a method used extensively since the 70’s at Western Medicine for pain management.

​

Recent research has shown that during acupuncture the natural painkillers of the human body are produced, such as serotonin and endorphine, which help the rehabilitation process and reduce pain. For this reason, acupuncture can be used in the initial phase of rehabilitation protocols to improve the symptoms. It can be also combined with other techniques such as manual therapy and therapeutic exercises for better results. 

​

During application of acupuncture, sterile disposable needles are used that are inserted in the skin at certain points (meridians). The procedure is painless, without risks or other complications. 

 

At Physiotime, we use acupuncture for the management of acute or chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
