Specialist Training in Acupuncture & Dry Needling
All of our physiotherapists have extensive post-graduate training of using acupuncture and dry needing for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain. Acupuncture may be used alongside traditional physiotherapy techniques or as a stand- alone treatment.
Acupuncture is a safe, effective and evidence-based method of relieving musculoskeletal pain. Acupuncture uses single-use, sterile needles which are placed at specific points on the body then gently stimulated. It is thought that acupuncture facilitates the body’s own pain-relieving mechanisms leading to reduction in pain and improved function.
Discover the Transformative Benefits of Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an evidence-based treatment that uses fine needles inserted at specific points to stimulate the body's natural healing mechanisms. It's a safe, effective approach that focuses on pain relief, reducing inflammation, and restoring optimal function for musculoskeletal conditions.

Relieves Pain & Inflammation
Acupuncture stimulates the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals and improves blood flow, providing effective relief from acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain while reducing tissue inflammation.

Accelerates Healing & Recovery
By enhancing circulation and activating the body's repair mechanisms, acupuncture promotes faster tissue healing and helps restore normal function after injury or during rehabilitation

Reduces Muscle Tension
Targeted needle placement helps release muscle knots, trigger points, and areas of tension, improving flexibility and range of motion while restoring normal muscle function.

Enhances Overall Wellbeing
Acupuncture supports the body's natural balance, helping to reduce stress, improve sleep quality, and promote a sense of overall wellness alongside physical healing benefits.

What our patients say
After sustaining a very painful shoulder injury I went to Aycliffe physio for some treatment. I received a first class service and treatment and although it wasn’t a quick fix it was worth every penny. They cared about getting my shoulder fixed and talked me through everything they did. I received hands on treatment along with exercises for in between appointments. Couldn’t recommend them enough, and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again if required.
