Accupuncture
Acupuncture is a medical technique used in the treatment of a wide range of conditions by stimulating the nervous system through the contact of the needles with the skin and muscles.
Acupuncture has been seen to help in the treatment of trigger points, these are areas within muscles that may feel like a “knot” and can cause local or referred pain to another site within the body.
Stimulating these trigger points with the use of acupuncture can help to increase the release of endorphins and serotonin (the bodies natural painkillers)
Acupuncture is also beneficial in treating musculoskeletal pain, headaches, migraines, sports injuries, arthritic and rheumatic pain, menstrual and menopausal symptoms and functional bowel or bladder problems.
Naturopathy
A naturopathic osteopath employs methods which work with the body’s healing powers and self-correcting mechanisms as well as avoiding treatments which may work against those mechanisms which can suppress acute and chronic diseases.
During each treatment the naturopathic osteopath will help with the underlying causes of dysfunction whilst addressing the 3 aspects of the naturopathic triad of health and treating the body as a whole. Naturopathy helps to prevent future diseases or dysfunctions occurring by removing the cause.
Low-Level Laser Therapy
Low Level Laser Therapy, which is also known as PhotoBioModulation(PBM) involves the modulation of the body’s biological activity through the controlled delivery of light.
The physiological responses to Low Level Laser Therapy involve stimulation of the body’s natural healing processes, optimising repair and helping to restore normal cellular function. Although research on precise mechanisms continues, three key effects have been identified:
