AcupunctureAcupuncture at Terranova Physiotherapy in RichmondAncient China brings to the Western world the wonders of Acupuncture. Over the past few decades, Acupuncture has been incorporated into physiotherapy treatment options. Your physiotherapist at Terranova Physiotherapy in Richmond may recommend Acupuncture as a supplemental therapy to promote rapid healing and full recovery. What is Acupuncture?Acupuncture helps manage pain and soft tissue injuries by enhancing your body’s natural healing response. Pain reduces as your physiotherapist stimulates your body to release natural pain-relieving chemicals. These endorphins, melatonin, and serotonin assist you in healing, usually supporting other physiotherapy modalities. How Does Acupuncture Work?Acupuncture restores your body’s natural energy balance using fine needles inserted through your skin. Your physiotherapist targets specific points along “meridians” that help reduce your pain. As the pain decreases, your body is better able to restore balance, so healing is more rapid. Is Acupuncture Painful?No. Most patients notice sensations, but they should not be painful. Acupuncture needles are super thin and flexible, so many people don’t feel them at all. Some people feel only a sensation when inserted. Our registered physiotherapists at Terranova Physiotherapy in Richmond are professionally trained to provide painless acupuncture treatments.
