Leicester Medical Acupuncture Treatment Clinic: Comprehensive Guide to Acupuncture and Electroacupuncture at TownOsteo

Types of Acupuncture Available at TownOsteo

Our clinic provides various types of acupuncture treatments, each carefully tailored to suit specific therapeutic needs:

1. Gentle Superficial Surface Needling
   A subtle technique where needles are inserted just a few millimetres into the skin. Patients experience minimal sensation, making this ideal for those new to acupuncture or those seeking a gentle approach to pain relief.

2. Muscle, Ligament, and Tendon Insertion
   Targeting deeper structures, this method is perfect for chronic muscle, ligament, and tendon issues. It’s particularly effective for sports injuries, repetitive strain injuries, and chronic muscle tension.

3. Specialisation in Bone (Periosteal) Needling
   Unique to our Leicester Medical Acupuncture Treatment Clinic, Yasin has specialised in periosteal (bone) needling over years of focused training. This advanced approach targets the periosteum, the layer surrounding bones, making it especially effective for severe and chronic pain, particularly in the spine and rib areas where other methods, like shockwave therapy, may be unsuitable.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture’s effectiveness lies in its ability to stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Here’s how it works for common issues treated at our Leicester clinic.

1. Scar Tissue Removal
   Acupuncture stimulates circulation to scarred areas, breaking down old scar tissue and promoting the growth of healthy tissue, which reduces stiffness and improves mobility.

2. Nerve Desensitisation
   By calming overactive nerves, acupuncture helps reduce chronic pain. It’s effective for nerve pain caused by injuries or conditions like sciatica and neuralgia.

3. Stimulating Healing through Controlled Activation of Inflammation
   By inserting needles at specific points, acupuncture activates a controlled inflammatory response, which stimulates healing, reduces pain, and promotes natural recovery.

 

 

Electroacupuncture for Chronic Pain Management

For patients experiencing chronic pain, TownOsteo offers electroacupuncture—a method combining traditional acupuncture with mild electrical stimulation. Electroacupuncture is especially effective for persistent pain and conditions that haven’t responded to standard treatments. Through controlled electrical impulses, it enhances the effectiveness of acupuncture by providing deep stimulation to affected tissues, making it an excellent option for conditions requiring extended pain relief.
