FAQ
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an essential component of physiotherapy, used to manage pain and inflammation while stimulating the body’s natural healing processes to enhance recovery and rehabilitation. At The Lab Physio Clinic, we blend clinical expertise with evidence-based methods to ensure treatments are both safe and effective.
Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture stimulates specific points along the body’s energy pathways, called meridians, to restore balance and promote optimal health. Modern techniques further amplify these benefits by encouraging the body’s natural ability to self-repair. By targeting the source of imbalance, acupuncture alleviates pain, reduces inflammation, and enhances recovery outcomes.
How Does Acupuncture Work?
Acupuncture stimulates the body to produce endorphins and oxytocin—its natural pain- and stress-relieving chemicals. It enhances well-being by promoting serotonin release, encourages restful sleep by stimulating melatonin production, and helps block pain signals by stimulating nerve fibres. These combined effects contribute to reducing pain and inflammation while enhancing overall recovery.
What Should I Expect?
Your first session will include a thorough consultation to understand your medical history, assess your current health needs, and develop a personalised treatment plan. During the session, fine needles will be inserted into specific points, left in place for around 20-30 minutes, and gently stimulated as needed.
Does Acupuncture Hurt?
Acupuncture needles are extremely fine, ensuring minimal discomfort. Some patients report a slight tingling or pressure, but this subsides quickly, and the experience is generally relaxing.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of treatments depends on how your condition responds to acupuncture. While many patients experience positive results within 4-6 sessions, some may benefit from maintenance treatments to prevent recurrence. Sessions are typically scheduled once or twice weekly during the acute phase and adjusted as your recovery progresses.
What’s the Difference Between Acupuncture and Dry Needling?
Acupuncture is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, focusing on systemic health and energy flow, while dry needling targets specific muscle trigger points to alleviate musculoskeletal pain.
