Physiotherapy treatments in Milton Keynes
Acupuncture
We offer acupuncture at our clinic in Milton Keynes as an integrated treatment option alongside physiotherapy or sports rehab.
Acupuncture is particularly suitable for people living with chronic pain, such as from arthritis, fibromyalgia or a long-term injury, helping to reduce pain and inflammation and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes.

Some common questions about acupuncture
Acupuncture can be very helpful for easing chronic pain. And with less pain, you may feel more relaxed and able to move more freely, which has a positive impact on your sense of wellbeing and quality of life.
Here are our answers to some of the most common questions we get asked about acupuncture:
How do I know if acupuncture is right for me?
When you come for your physiotherapy assessment, your physiotherapist will determine whether acupuncture is right for you.
It is very much dependent on your injury or problem, and on any pre-existing conditions. We will tell you if we don’t think acupuncture is suitable for you.
What does acupuncture feel like?
Acupuncture is nothing like having an injection and the needles are considerably thinner. While a few patients don’t like the procedure, most report little or no discomfort.
Where there is discomfort, it may feel like a tingling sensation or a dull ache.

How many acupuncture sessions will I need?
This varies from person to person. Some people respond quickly, others may take a few treatments to respond, and a minority may not respond at all.
During your assessment, your physiotherapist will discuss expectations around the number of sessions you may need.

What should I wear for acupuncture?
Please wear loose clothing so your physiotherapist can access your skin. The needles cannot be applied through clothing. In some cases, you may need to remove items of clothing to enable access to certain areas of skin.
However, we always provide a towel to cover the parts of your body not being worked on.
