Indeed acupuncture is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Evidence (NICE) for the treatment of non-specific low back pain alongside physiotherapy and exercises.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED?” style=”arrow” color=”black” el_id=”1439546980238-6704e756-5218″ el_class=”acupuncture-toggles”]This depends on the nature of the condition being treated and how individual patients respond to acupuncture.<\/p>\n

Paula, New Milton<\/h2>\n

“I have attended New Forest Physio for some years now, and I know that if I am in trouble with my neck or my knees Fiona is there to help me. I suffer from arthritis and am unable to take anti-inflammatory medication, so for me acupuncture is a natural way to get relief from pain.”<\/p>\n
