Acupuncture at PhysioOne

Acupuncture has been used as a therapeutic treatment for the health of the chinese people for over 3000 years. Here at PhysioOne we incorporate the use of acupunture with our physiotherapy care to help aid your recovery.

Acupuncture involves the use of small fine needles which are inserted into the body at various points to treat and aid with a number of illnesses and issues.

Acupuncture can help with:

• Migraines
• Back Pain
• Headaches
• Chronic pain
• Spinal injuries
• Occupational Overuse Syndrome
• Tendinitis/Bursitis/Synovitis
• Arthritis
• Whiplash
• Nerve injury and Paralysis
• And a number of other pain conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system

Acupuncture is not a painful experience as often thought. The needles are only inserted until the 'Chi sensation is felt' a tingling feeling that spreads from the needle. This is the nervous system being stimulated.

If you feel that we could help you here at PhysioOne with the use of both physiotherapy and acupuncture for any pain or injury you may be suffering from then give us a call on 5208218 or visit our website.

Life After the Marathon

So less than 12 hours after the Auckland Marathon finished I had alreadyspoken to and come across 3 people who did little or no training and jumped straight into the deep end of this marathon! One of these people was lucky enough to get away with only a blister! This lead me to think how many other people also may have thought they could get away without putting in the training beforehand. Shin pain, hip pain, back pain, knee pain and foot pain are some of the things that you may be suffering from after this marathon. Our advice to you is don't wait for it to settle down by itself...it may not! What starts as a mild tendon pain, if left untreated may become a chronic tendinosis and take months to resolve...So better be safe than sorry and get those little post marathon niggles checked out! We are here to help you with all your post marathon care
