Acupuncture
By inserting fine needles into certain areas of the body the acupuncture can stimulate the body’s own healing response and help restore its natural balance by involving neurochemical and physical processes.
As such, it is often a highly useful adjunct to osteopathic treatment. Most frequently, needles of varying lengths are inserted directly into muscle mass to help allieviate painful conditions.
Aims of Treatment
The goal of treatment is to release muscle tension and alleviate nerve tissue irritation by reducing the nerve impulse, or stimulating local blood. Acupuncture is a very fast and effective pain relief. The sensation from an acupuncture needle should not feel painful to the patient. Sensations often experienced by patients are tingling, heat or a numb feeling all of which are positive signs of the treatment.

"I have had ongoing back, neck and shoulder problems for a few years. After being introduced to acupuncture by Rachel, I am so impressed by the success of this treatment. It is not painful, I can't even feel the needles going in, and it is very effective."
