Acupuncture at Spire Elland Hospital

Our patients are at the heart of what we do and we want you to be in control of your care. To us, that means you can choose the physiotherapist you want to see, and when you want. They'll be with you every step of the way.

All physiotherapists carrying out acupuncture in Spire Healthcare hospitals are qualified therapists and are trained to the standards set by the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists.

Natural pain relieving chemicals such as endorphins, melatonin and serotonin are produced when acupuncture needles stimulate different physiological mechanisms within the central nervous system and the tissues being needled.

These chemicals assist in healing and offer pain relief which is helpful when used in conjunction with other physiotherapy modalities such as exercise, rehabilitation and manual therapy.

Your therapist follows a strict code of conduct and hygiene guidelines, and will use sterile, disposable needles.

We are here to listen and help you every step of the way.

You will have a formal consultation with a specialist of your choice. During this time you will be able to explain your medical history, symptoms and any concerns you might have.

We've tried to make your experience with us as easy and relaxed as possible.
