Acupuncture Ampthill & Flitwick
For Acupuncture in Ampthill & Flitwick, the Body Sage Clinic in Bedford specialises in Dry-Needling Acupuncture, a modern adaptation of traditional acupuncture developed by medical researchers to specifically target and treat muscular pain. This advanced technique is particularly effective for addressing painful “trigger points” commonly known as “knots,” which sometimes massage alone often cannot resolve.
Dry-needling acupuncture provides relief by accurately placing needles into painful muscles or trigger points, to quickly reduce pain and restore movement. Our specialised approach ensures that you receive targeted treatment, allowing for swift and significant improvement in your condition. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain or a recent injury, our clinic offers a solution that can help you feel better in no time. Experience the benefits of this time-tested therapy, modernised to provide efficient and effective relief for your muscular pain.

Acupuncture Faq
Can dry-needling be used to help quit smoking or for weight loss?
No. For this, you would either need someone trained in TCM or in acupuncture for those reasons.
What does dry-needling do?
It helps problematic muscles reconnect with the brain and encourages your body to heal itself.
Does acupuncture hurt?
The sensation of acupuncture can vary from person to person, but it’s generally quite painless.
What conditions can dry-needling acupuncture treat?
That would be quite a long list, but it’s particularly good at treating pain, even if that pain is quite intense.
Is there any scientific proof that dry-needling works?
Yes, plenty. It was literally developed by scientists for the purpose of treating pain and muscle knots.
What if I’m scared of needles?
An acupuncture needle is nothing like a hypodermic needle, they are much, much smaller. The needles we use are 0.25mm thick. That’s about twice as thick as a human hair.
Is it safe?
We jolly well hope so. All needles are new and sterile. They are never reused and disposed of immediately after use. Any therapist performing acupuncture as part of your treatment would be qualified and insured to do so.
