Western Medical Acupuncture/Dry Needling

He will assess your condition and through a shared decision-making process, may recommend dry needling.  Western Medical Acupuncture (also known as dry needling) is a method of inserting very small acupuncture needles into points on the body, which helps to promote recovery, provide pain relief and improve wellbeing.

Please note that we do not use the Traditional Chinese Acupuncture approach which follows the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) method of diagnosis and treatment. We use Western Acupuncture or Dry Needling as a method for releasing tensions in certain areas of the body so as to complement manual therapy technique in the rehabilitation of the patient.

There is no additional cost to having acupuncture treatment and it can be included in your scheduled appointment with Boris Gaspar. If you want to have a full western acupuncture session please inform us before your appointment commences.
