Muscles like to move, if the movement becomes restricted due to posture, injury or often just tension, the muscle responds by producing toxins. The toxin causes a knot like phenomenon which is known as a trigger point.
Acupuncture is extremely effective in deactivating the knots restoring normal moment and instant relief from pain.

Most of us will have the odd head ache, which is often transient caused by various things such dehydration, lack of sleep etc. migraine takes on a whole new meaning to pain.

Most people at some time in their life will experience some form of back pain, quite often mechanical rather than an injury. The acupuncture works in the same way as described for pain relief but often there is an added phenomenon known as trigger points.

If a muscle is tense, unhappy and immobile it produces chemicals called lactic acid, which presents itself like a knot and when pressure applied it is extremely tender.  More often there is a referred pain somewhere else for example a knot in the shoulder muscle quite often results in a frontal headache.

Triggers or knots are very easily deactivated by treatment allowing the muscle’s mobility to be restored giving full range of movement and relief of pain back to to the individual.
