At northlondonosteopaths.co.uk we are delighted to offer acupuncture to our patients in addition to osteopathy. Western medical acupuncture is a therapeutic treatment involving the insertion of fine needles. It is an adaptation of Chinese acupuncture using current knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology, and the principles of evidence based medicine.

Acupuncture is effective in a wide range of painful conditions. It is used frequently to treat musculoskeletal pain, for example in the back, neck, shoulder and leg. It can be used successfully in the treatment of

• Headache
• Shoulder and Knee strains
• Trapped nerves
• Chronic muscle strain
• Sports injuries
• Various kinds of rheumatic and arthritic pain.

Many people who have not found relief for the above aches and pains in other disciplines respond well to acupuncture. Please call us on 0208 458 3874 to book an appointment if that may be you!
