Western medical acupuncture is a therapeutic modality involving the insertion of fine needles; it is an adaptation of Chinese acupuncture using current knowledge of anatomy physiology and pathology, and the principles of evidence based medicine. While Western medical acupuncture has evolved from Chinese acupuncture, its practitioners no longer adhere to concepts such as Yin/Yang and circulation of qi, and regard acupuncture as part of conventional medicine rather than a complete “alternative medical system”. It acts mainly by stimulating various trigger points probably nerve fibres to release the bodys own opiods. Western medical acupuncture is principally used by conventional healthcare practitioners, most commonly in primary care. Ask one of our chiropractors if Medical Acupuncture maybe of benefit to you.

Clients of The NIHP Sacriston Practice in Durham often learn through a Gait analysis (the way we walk) and Biomechanical assessment that their recurring sports injury or leg/back pain is caused by a poor alignment of the bone, ligament and muscle structure of their feet and legs. A biomechanical assessment is the starting point for understanding the cause of your problem, what treatment is needed or whether further investigations are necessary. It provides our Podiatrists with insight about walking patterns and muscular-skeletal alignment.

Physiotherapists at The Northern Integrative Health Practice in Sacriston, Durham help people of all ages who have physical problems caused by illness, accident or ageing. They also work with stroke patients, children and people who have mental health problems. An important part of a physiotherapists role involves understanding the cultural, psychological and social factors that affect their clients. Physiotherapy, sometimes referred to as physio, helps people to improve their range of movement in order to promote health and well being. This can help people to live more independently. In particular, physiotherapists concentrate on problems that affect muscles, bones, the heart, circulation and lungs. Physiotherapy involves a range of treatments, including manipulation, massage, exercise, electrotherapy and hydrotherapy.
