Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the ancient Chinese art and science of treating muscle, bone and joint dysfunctions.
At Birds Hill Physiotherapy, we practice Western Anatomical acupuncture, which is the insertion of fine gauge, sterilized needles into specific anatomical points.
Dry Needling is a multi-puncture technique that uses a special gauge needle in order break up adhesions at the musculo/fascial junction. Results can be immediate and only a few treatments are needed to see optimal results.

Please note that as Physiotherapist we use this modality as an adjunct to treatment and not as a solitary treatment.
Chinese Acupuncturists, however, are able to include diagnostics in relation to total body issues such as digestion, sleep, anxiety, migraines, just to name a few. They use acupuncture techniques combined with herbal remedies, cupping, remedial massage and breathing to treat the entire body, inside and out.
