Sometimes referred to as “Western Acupuncture” this practice differs from the traditional ancient Chinese practice.  Medical acupuncture stimulates the nervous system in the form of a theraputic technique that involves inserting fine needles into the soft tissue of the body, in doing so it helps to encourage healing and relief from pain by encouraging the body to produce endorphins and oxytocin its own natural pain relief chemicals.

Mainly used to treat muscular pain and joint problems, different people respond differently to the treatment and at different rates, I find it very effective to help with sporting injuries by adding length and stretch to tight and painful muscles.
