Western Medical Acupuncture Midland
Western Medical Acupuncture (WMA) uses small, fine acupuncture needles that are gently inserted into target areas in the lower limbs to help improve blood flow, alleviate pain, facilitate healing, resolve restrictions in the muscles (trigger points) and stimulate the nerve fibres.
A Comprehensive Alternative to Dry Needling
This differs from dry needling as it encompasses five mechanisms of action – of which dry needling is one of them. The other effects also engage the nervous system to help with repair, regeneration and healing musculoskeletal pain. WMA can be used to help with:
- Heel + calf pain (including Achilles tendonitis)
- Forefoot pain (pain in the big toe joint, Morton’s neuroma, bursitis, capsulitis)
- Diabetic neuropathy
- Surgical scarring
- Pain from arthritis
- Shin + knee pain
