Fast and Effective Pain Relief.
Acupuncture Shefford
For Acupuncture in Shefford, 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 works by carefully placing needles into a trigger point or a painful muscle, 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 can have you feeling better in no time. Experience the benefits of this time-tested therapy, modernised to provide efficient and effective relief for your muscular pain.

Acupuncture FAQs
Still have questions? Call us for a quick chat.
Can dry-needling be used to help quit smoking or for weight loss?
No. You would either need someone trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine or trained in Acupuncture for smoking cessation.
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 may vary from person to person, but it’s generally painless.
What conditions can dry-needling acupuncture treat?
It’s particularly effective at treating pain, this is what we mainly use it for. For specific issues, some research would be advisable as there is a difference between conditions treated with Dry-Needling and Traditional Chinese Acupuncture.
What if I’m scared of needles?
An acupuncture needle is nothing like a hypodermic needle; it is much, much smaller. The needles we use are 0.25mm thick, which is about twice as thick as human hair.
Is there any scientific proof that dry-needling works?
Yes, plenty. It was literally developed by scientists for the purpose of treating pain.
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 is qualified and insured.
