Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin sterile needles into acupressure points found in the body. Acupuncture stimulates the body to release endorphins (the body's own pain killer) which in turn helps to relieve pain and promote healing. Acupuncture offers pain relief for acute and chronic conditions, assists in the healing process, and can even help with anxiety and stress.
Iontophoresis is an alternative way of treating tendon and ligament injuries. A low electrical current is used to drive certain chemicals such cortisone through the skin into the injured area. This method of treatment assists the Therapist in managing pain and inflammation. Iontophoresis has been shown to be a very effective type of treatment.
