Western Medical Acupuncture.
What is Western Medical Acupuncture?
Western Medical Acupuncture. A modern adaptation of traditional Chinese acupuncture, integrating current scientific understanding of anatomy, physiology, and pathology. This treatment method involves inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue, promoting natural healing and pain relief.
Our Approach
At The Recovery Project Osteopathy Clinic in Cromwell, NZ, we offer Western Medical Acupuncture as part of our comprehensive approach to healthcare.
Key Principles of Western Medical Acupuncture
Scientific Foundation: Unlike traditional acupuncture, which is based on the concept of balancing the body's energy (Qi), Western Medical Acupuncture is grounded in evidence-based medicine. It focuses on the neurophysiological mechanisms that underpin pain and healing processes.
Holistic Treatment: This approach is often used alongside other therapies to provide a holistic, patient-centered treatment plan. It aims to address the root causes of pain and dysfunction, not just the symptoms.
Personalised Care: Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual's specific needs and health conditions. Our practitioners take into account the patient's medical history, lifestyle, and overall well-being to ensure the best possible outcomes.
