Acupuncture Bedford

At our Acupuncture clinic in Bedford, we specialise in dry-needling, a modern adaptation of traditional Chinese 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 precisely placing needles into these trigger points, quickly reducing the pain and discomfort. 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 will 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

What is Acupuncture?
It is the practice of inserting very fine, solid needles into particular parts of the body, which in our case, is into the muscles.

What’s the difference between dry-needling and Traditional Chinese Acupuncture?
Dry-needling is a modern adaption of traditional Chinese Acupuncture and is used for the treatment of pain. Chinese Acupuncture is part of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) system. It focuses on a person’s overall health and well-being, as well as treating specific medical conditions.

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 someone trained 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.
