Acupuncture in Paphos

Restore Balance. Relieve Pain. Regain Control.

Acupuncture is a clinically recognized therapeutic technique that helps relieve pain, reduce stress, strengthen the immune system, and improve overall well-being. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and integrated into modern physiotherapy practice, it offers a safe and holistic approach to recovery.

If you are experiencing back or neck pain, muscle tension, fibromyalgia, or persistent discomfort that limits your daily life, acupuncture may provide the solution your body needs.

What Is Acupuncture (Dry Needling)?

In physiotherapy, acupuncture, often referred to as dry needling involves the precise insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points of the body. This technique stimulates the nervous system, enhances circulation, reduces muscle tension, and activates the body’s natural healing response.

Our goal is not simply to reduce symptoms, but to address the root cause of pain and restore functional balance.

Benefits of Acupuncture

One of the major advantages of acupuncture is that it is drug-free. It offers effective relief for both acute and chronic conditions while supporting overall physical and emotional health.

This holistic method considers the body as a whole focusing on muscles, joints, nerves, and even stress-related factors that may contribute to pain.

When performed by a qualified physiotherapist, acupuncture is a safe and highly controlled treatment method that supports long-term recovery.

Is Acupuncture Safe?

Acupuncture is considered a safe and minimally invasive therapy when applied by trained professionals. Serious side effects are extremely rare and occur significantly less frequently than complications associated with pharmaceutical or surgical treatments.

However, certain precautions apply. Acupuncture is not recommended in cases of:

Full-term pregnancy (specific points only)

Patients with pacemakers (for electroacupuncture)

Epilepsy (for electroacupuncture)

Active skin infections in the treatment area

Certain orthopedic implant locations

Before beginning treatment, a full assessment is conducted to ensure suitability and safety.

How Quickly Does It Work?

The response to acupuncture varies depending on the condition and its severity.

Acute lower back pain may improve after just one session.

Chronic conditions, such as fibromyalgia, may require structured weekly sessions.

A personalized treatment plan is always discussed to ensure the best possible outcome for your recovery.
