How Diarmuid approaches this

Evidence-based acupuncture within a physio framework.

Medical acupuncture is used alongside physiotherapy to help reduce pain, ease muscle tension, and support stress management.

  • Persistent or widespread pain 
  • Muscle tightness and tension 
  • Stress-related symptoms 
  • Integrated with hands-on treatment and rehab 
  • Used where appropriate as part of your overall care 

A safe and effective option to support your recovery.

01

Clinical assessment first

Acupuncture is never used in isolation — it follows a full physiotherapy assessment to ensure it's appropriate for your condition.

02

Targeted needle placement

Fine, sterile needles are placed at precise anatomical points to stimulate the nervous system and promote pain relief.

03

Combined with physiotherapy

Acupuncture works best as part of a broader treatment plan — combined with manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation.

04

Safe and regulated

Diarmuid holds a recognised qualification in medical acupuncture, practising safely within his chartered physiotherapy scope.
