Following a full assessment with one of our specialist Physiotherapists at Manchester Neuro Physio, we will decide whether acupuncture may be suited for use in part of your child's treatment. Fine, single-use needles are used in the treatment on various trigger points on the body, these are determined depending on symptoms. This is what will help to stimulate the flow of energy. With energy balance of the body being restored, this creates an environment which reduces pain and enhances the healing process. No pain should be experienced during the treatment, a dull ache may be felt but the needles are very fine and are only inserted at the surface of the skin. At Manchester Neuro Physio, we often combine acupuncture treatment with other treatment in order to try and achieve the best outcome possible.
