Medical Acupuncture

At Jane Reynolds and Associates, we offer medical acupuncture to relieve the pain and promote a rapid and natural self-healing process. Our medical acupuncture procedure involves the insertion of fine needles into certain points of the body to stimulate endorphin release and switch off contracting muscles and alter nerve activity in that area, relieving pain. The procedure also calms down the central nervous system which, when dealing with pain, becomes over-active.

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence recommends medical acupuncture for lower back pain and chronic pain in persons over the age of 16 specifically, and has pointed to the efficacy of acupuncture therapy when delivering in a community setting by a healthcare professional with appropriate training. Our practices come with the backing of trialled and established western medicine and don’t rely on the Traditional Chinese Medicinal applications of acupuncture. For chronic pain and lower back pain, acupuncture relieves pain and stimulates the self-healing process.
