Trigger Point Acupuncture
Trigger Point Acupuncture or Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) Acupuncture
Western medical acupuncture is a form of therapy where fine needles are inserted. It is an adaptation of Chinese acupuncture using current knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology. As part of our range of treatments, we practise a form of western acupuncture called dry needling or IMS. This involves using a needle to treat contractures in muscles (which, if they refer pain, are known as trigger points). This stimulates a neural response which can lead to the contracture relaxing and a reduction in pain and increased mobility.
I have completed training courses aimed at doctors, osteopaths and other qualified healthcare professionals with the British Medical Acupuncture Society.
Don’t worry if you really do not like needles, we can treat you without Acupuncture.
Emyr Lloyd-Jones is very thorough and has a firm touch which gets to the root of the problem. He takes the time to ask for the symptoms and suggests ways to improve the issue. He is also very personable and makes the session as pleasant as possible.
I had not previously used an osteopath. Emyr was great at explaining what would happen and was very reassuring.
Brilliant knowledgable good calm manner explains everything well in a language you understand
Emyr has helped with a course of treatment on two separate occasions, once for my back and once for a shoulder issue. Excellent treatment, advice, explanations and a very reassuring bedside manner, Emyr is clearly highly experienced and knowledgeable and I would very much recommend him.
Fantastic trigger point acupuncture that keeps my headaches away. Much more effective that traditional acupuncture this was just what I needed and released so much tension in my back and neck. Emyr is a lovely Welshman puts you at ease from the off. 5 stars he has a huge reputation amongst my friends who also see him.
Emyr has always been able to pinpoint the problems I have had with my back and been able to manipulate it to allow the pain to go away and for me to be aligned again. He is a miracle worker!
