A clinical trial assessing pain and function in patients with Osteoarthritis in their knees, found that pain and motility scores were significantly decreased after seven sessions of motor point acupuncture treatment.
Motor Point Acupuncture uses fine needles and electrical currents to both stimulate muscles that aren’t firing properly, and relax muscles that are overworked and tight.
These needles are inserted into the motor points – which are anatomical locations where the nerve enters the muscle.
This technique is often used to treat chronic pain and sports injuries by re-establishing healthy nerve pathways, improving blood flow, circulation whilst accelerating healing and recovery.
If you experience musculoskeletal pain, consider booking in a motor point acupuncture session at Rebalance Wellness here.
