ACUPUNcTURE
What is ACUPUNCTURE?
We mainly use Acupuncture to reduce muscle spasm quickly and also for some specific conditions like Tennis elbow and plantar fasciitis. Acupuncture is one of most effective ways to deactivate trigger points as it reaches all the way down to the muscle spindles.
How does acupuncture work?
It works two ways. Firstly, by acting as a counter irritant to override pain or muscle spasm. Secondly, the increase in circulating endorphins and enkephalins during acupuncture treatment suggests a hormonal pain relieving role.

After just a few sessions, including some acupuncture, I felt as good as new! I now continue to have treatment every couple of months for maintenance to ensure I don’t relapse and I feel so much more mobile after each session. Highcliffe Chiropractic Clinic have appointments at unsociable hours which means it is accessible and convenient for those who work full time. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
