Medical Acupuncture – Pain Relief Therapy
Medical Acupuncture is renowned for its effectiveness and safety in treating pain. By stimulating nerves in both skin and muscle, this therapy induces a range of beneficial effects. Scientific research supports that Medical Acupuncture enhances the release of the body’s natural painkillers—endorphins and serotonin—along the pain pathways of the spinal cord and brain. This helps alter how pain signals are perceived, potentially easing your discomfort.
What Does a Medical Acupuncture Session Involve?
Your journey begins with a thorough one-hour consultation and treatment session. This initial meeting includes:
- A detailed medical history review.
- Blood pressure screening.
- A personalized pain relief care plan, complete with professional advice.
- A tailored treatment course specific to your needs and conditions.
During treatment, typically, fine needles are gently inserted through the skin and left in place for a short duration. The exact number of needles used can vary, often ranging from two to three based on individual requirements. Treatments generally consist of six consecutive sessions, starting weekly and gradually spacing out as your pain diminishes.
Combined Treatment: Medical Acupuncture AND Osteopathy
For some conditions, a combined treatment approach that integrates Medical Acupuncture and Osteopathic techniques may be advantageous. Our practitioners are skilled in both disciplines, allowing for a seamless integration of treatments within the same session. Whether you choose acupuncture alone or in combination with osteopathy, the fees remain consistent. We dedicate time to discuss your treatment options comprehensively, ensuring you are well-informed and confident in your care plan.

“I was told about Clarks Benfleet Osteopathy by a friend who was having back treatment. I have a lingering neck injury that I suffered several years ago. It often seizes causing me problems. Thankfully after 3 visits to Clarks my neck troubles have ceased, I have also found acupuncture helpful for deep relaxation. I always sleep so well after treatment. I am feeling much better! The pain in my neck has gone and in my shoulder too. It was so worth the investment. I would recommend the treatment highly! Thank you for all the help and kind professional advice.”
