What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a safe, time-tested therapy rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and now widely used in modern healthcare. It involves inserting very fine needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the nervous system, ease muscle tension, and support the body’s natural healing processes.
At York Physio and Health, our acupuncture is delivered by fully qualified practitioners who blend traditional methods with evidence-based physiotherapy. It’s often used as part of a wider treatment plan for issues like persistent pain, muscle tightness, stress, sports injuries, and more.
We take a holistic, tailored approach, treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. Whether you’re managing back pain, headaches, sciatica, joint discomfort, or simply looking for support with stress or sleep, acupuncture can offer gentle yet effective results.
Many people find it calming, restorative, and a valuable complement to physio or rehab. Sessions are carried out in a quiet, private setting, with clear explanations to help you feel at ease, especially if it’s your first time.
