Shared with permission: great way to start a Friday morning, with a very positive update from a new client who has been struggling significantly for sometime before coming to see us.

It often surprises clients to find out that there is more than one type of acupuncture. As physiotherapists, we are regulated and bound by a strict code of professional and ethical standards, meaning we are only allowed to offer evidence based treatments. This includes western medical acupuncture, which we always use in conjunction with other evidence based approaches such as strengthening and functional rehab.

Western Medical Acupuncture is a therapeutic, evidence-based modality that uses fine, sterile needles to stimulate sensory nerves, muscles, and connective tissue, often to treat musculoskeletal pain. Unlike Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is rooted in modern anatomy, physiology, and pathology.

🪡 Acupuncture: bent needles 🪡

Clients are often intrigued about the possibility of a bent needle, as mentioned on our acupuncture consent forms. This occurs rarely (0.1% of treatments or 1 in 1000), usually due to muscle spasm during dry needling (needling of trigger points in muscles), resulting normally in a single bend in the needle. It is also relative to factors such as how fine the needle is, the size of the muscle you’re needling etc.

This week in clinic we saw a double bend in a single needle- which occurs even less frequently. It simply means that more than one strong muscle spasm has occurred during needling of the trigger point. Our client was well muscled with a particularly strong trigger point, and the needle was easily removed after treatment.

The real reason physios love standing desks…

We love this post from Dr Arthur…. “First rule of the farmer’s pain score, there is no farmer’s pain score”

If a farmer says it hurts, it’s probably really bad! Of course it’s not just farmers… but this made us chuckle and is certainly quite accurate, they’re about as tough as they come 🚜

**NOTICE**

The road leading from the main road at The Springer Spaniel Pub up to the clinic is closed, and will be for the foreseeable. Unfortunately neither the pub nor anyone else was given any advanced warning. There is a clearly signed diversion in place (shown on the map below- sorry, there’s a reason we are physios and not artists 😆) from the turning next to Tre Pol Pen but it is a rather long one! So allow an extra 10 minutes to reach us from the main road.

We imagine will be the case for the next few weeks at least, possibly months.

This week Still Bill and I went to speak to some school children about the human body 🩻

He doesn’t get out much and was scared to death of my driving but we had a ball driving through town 🤪 and the children impressed us with their knowledge 🦴
