Acupuncture

Acupuncture can be utilised in conjunction to manual therapy to reduce pain and accelerate healing times. It’s especially helpful during the acute stage of recovery, when manual therapy may not be appropriate. Acupuncture can be administered as either IMS (Intramuscular stimulation) or as traditional acupuncture. IMS is used as a quick treatment strategy to reduce excessive muscular tension by working on the muscular trigger points. Traditional acupuncture it’s a less aggressive form of acupuncture, which can be utilised to reduce pain and improve blood supply to the affected injured tissue and thus speeding the recovery rate.
