Back pain
In our modern life, back problems are everywhere. A study has shown that more than 80% of people suffer from back pain at least once in their lives. Back pain can range from a bad week to a chronic condition that lasts for years. Its impact on health can be major.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), acupuncture is a very effective treatment for back problems, neck pain and other musculoskeletal problems related to the spine.
Acupuncture may allow you to reduce inflammation, release tense back muscles contractures and promote healing of soft tissue that may be affected in a more chronic situation.

Tendinitis
Tendinitis is an irritation of the tendons, often caused by overuse, injury or an underlying medical condition. Acupuncture can reduce the inflammation and pain associated with tendinitis. Acupuncture needles are inserted into specific points related to the affected area, helping to release local muscle tension, increase blood flow and facilitate cellular healing of the affected tissue.
It is effective in treating elbow, shoulder, wrist and knee tendonitis, among other conditions. If you are in pain, it is a natural and effective option to relieve your pain.

Headache and migraine
Headaches are localized pains in the head or neck, more commonly known as headaches and migraines. They often have a great impact on the daily life of those who suffer from them. They can be difficult to treat as a result of the fact that multiple causes can trigger them. They can be neurological, circulatory, hormonal or muscular.
Acupuncture can help reduce the frequency and intensity of some headaches. By stimulating certain areas, it can help reduce muscle tension and improve blood circulation. It removes blockages that trigger headaches.
Several studies have shown that acupuncture can be effective in treating migraines, especially chronic migraines.

Sports injury
Acupuncture's reputation for treating pain is well established. More and more athletes of all abilities are turning to it to improve performance, manage pain or heal injuries.
Acupuncture can help maintain flexibility in the muscles, insure good blood circulation and can promote soft tissue (tendon and ligament) healing. It can therefore reduce recovery time or enable you to return to activity more quickly following an injury.

Stiff Neck
A stiff neck, which is characterised by pain and loss of mobility in the cervical area, is a condition caused by a sudden muscle contraction or prolonged muscle tension.
A scientific study has found that acupuncture is more effective than anti-inflammatory drugs in patients with acute stiff neck.
Acupuncture can help relieve the symptoms of this condition by releasing tension points in the neck and shoulders. With this technique, the rigidity and pain associated with a stiff neck will be reduced, often with very few treatments.
