Living with chronic pain can feel like a constant uphill battle, often leading to a cycle of temporary fixes and pharmaceutical reliance. At Don Kelly Physiotherapy and Acupuncture, we believe in a different approach: addressing the root cause of your discomfort through natural, evidence-based therapies.
By combining the structural expertise of physiotherapy with the neurological benefits of acupuncture and dry needling, we provide a holistic pathway to recovery that helps you reclaim your mobility without surgery or long-term medication.
1. Physiotherapy: The Foundation of Movement
Physiotherapy is more than just stretching; it is the science of biomechanics. Our goal is to identify the physical imbalances—such as muscle weakness, joint stiffness, or poor posture—that lead to pain.
Customized Rehabilitation: Exercises tailored to your specific injury.
Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to mobilize joints and soft tissues.
Education: Understanding how your body moves to prevent future flare-ups.
2. Acupuncture: Tapping into Your Body’s Pharmacy
Acupuncture is an ancient practice backed by modern science. By inserting ultra-fine needles into specific “Acupoints,” we stimulate the nervous system to release natural pain-relieving chemicals like endorphins
Stress Reduction: Lowers cortisol levels, which often exacerbate physical pain.
Systemic Healing: Improves blood circulation and reduces systemic inflammation.
3. Dry Needling: Targeted Muscle Release
While it looks similar to acupuncture, dry needling focuses specifically on trigger points—those “knots” in the muscle that won’t let go. This technique resets the muscle, forcing it to relax and allowing blood flow to return to the area.
Why Choose a Combined Approach?
Treating pain naturally isn’t about choosing one method; it’s about the synergy between them.
Acupuncture calms the nervous system and reduces immediate pain.
Dry Needling releases the physical knots holding the muscle in a state of tension.
Physiotherapy strengthens the area so the pain doesn’t return.
