Acupuncture for Pain

Sasha has used acupuncture to deal with the following conditions:

  • Back Pain

  • Sciatica

  • Neck Pain

  • Shoulder Pain

  • Tennis Elbow

  • Jaw Tension

  • Headaches

  • Migraines

  • Neuropathy

Acupuncture is a highly effective treatment for relieving pain and muscular aches.

From a western medicine perspective it helps through improving local circulation, releasing tension in the fascia & muscle fibres, modulating neurotransmitter responsible for pain and lowering stress related tension.

From a tradition Chinese medicine perspective it helps restore the smooth flow of blood and Qi, and addresses the root cause of the pain.

As well as using acupuncture needles for pain Sasha also uses Electro-acupuncture, Gua sha, cupping, Moxa and Infra-red heat.
