Acupuncture Canberra
Pain Relief and Recovery Support
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to support healing and reduce pain.
Modern research suggests acupuncture may influence:
nervous system regulation
pain signalling
circulation
inflammatory responses
At The Body Lab Canberra, acupuncture is often used alongside movement assessment and biomechanical treatment.
What Acupuncture Can Help With
Acupuncture is commonly used for:
back pain
neck pain
headaches
sports injuries
chronic pain conditions
It may also support recovery when muscles or tendons are irritated.
Why Acupuncture Alone Sometimes Isn’t Enough
While acupuncture can help reduce pain, symptoms may return if movement patterns remain unchanged.
At The Body Lab we often combine acupuncture with:
joint mobilisation
gait assessment
movement retraining
This approach aims to support both pain relief and long-term mechanical change.
What Happens in an Acupuncture Session
Sessions typically include:
discussion of symptoms
assessment of movement patterns
acupuncture treatment
guidance for movement between sessions
