Medical Acupuncture for Pain Relief and Wellbeing
At Four Oaks Physio, we offer medical acupuncture as part of our integrated physiotherapy services to help manage pain, promote healing, and support overall wellbeing.
Medical acupuncture is a modern adaptation of traditional Chinese acupuncture, grounded in current principles of evidence-based medicine. It involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points of the body to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissues—helping to relieve pain and improve physical function.
In addition to clinic appointments, we offer home visit acupuncture across Sutton Coldfield, Walsall, Tamworth, Lichfield, Sandwell, Erdington, Great Barr, and the surrounding areas of Staffordshire.
