MEDICAL ACUPUNCTURE
Medical acupuncture also known as Dry Needling, is a therapeutic technique that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to promote healing and alleviate symptoms. It integrates principles of anatomy, physiology, and neurology. It is based on a contemporary scientific understanding of how acupuncture affects the nervous system and various physiological processes in the body.
Medical acupuncture is believed to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue, triggering physiological responses that promote healing and pain relief. It is thought to influence the central nervous system, modulating pain perception, reducing inflammation, and promoting relaxation.
Benefits of Medical Acupuncture:
It is commonly used to alleviate acute and chronic pain conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, headaches, and neuropathic pain.
It can support recovery from injuries by reducing pain, inflammation, and stress.
Medical acupuncture sessions can be very relaxing and contribute to stress reduction
It can complement conventional medical treatments, offering a broader holistic approach

We always discuss it with you first, whether medical acupuncture is a right treatment for you.
“Iwona is a great therapist. I had a huge problem with my arm pain. She helped me find the reason, relief the pain and help achieve balance so the pain will never come back again in the future. With her expertise and advice I was able to achieve all of that after a few sessions. No more pain, no more issues. I strongly recommend Iwona to anyone”
