Is Alternative Medicine for me?
At MSK Sports Injury Clinic Newcastle, we believe that we have an option for everyone, regardless of their issue. This is why we offer alternative medicine and therapies.
We offer many treatments such as shockwave therapy, deep tissue massage, sports massage and combination therapy at our clinic in Newcastle Upon Tyne but we realise that these treatments aren’t for everyone.
Your problem may not be suitable for a massage as it may be too painful. There may be a reason why you can’t have another treatment style due to health reasons. You might have tried many other treatments and not had the result you wish; this would be a great time to try an alternative.
This is where alternative medicine comes in. The great thing about Dry Cupping and Medical Acupuncture is that they can be performed regardless of your pain level and medical conditions.
We recommend these types of treatments for people suffering from a high pain level, increased inflammation and muscle spasm. This is because they can be applied gently without aggravating any of your problems and you can gain great relief from just one session.
If you have just suffered an injury and your pain is at a high level, then this could be perfect for you. If you have fibromyalgia or chronic pain issues, then this can also be a great option.
