Acupuncture
Restore the energy flow in your body with our specially skilled and efficient acupuncture experts.
An ancient form of treatment, acupuncture developed over thousands of years and is used within modern physiotherapy as part of an integrated approach to pain and inflammation management. At our acupuncture clinic we use this treatment to stimulate the body’s own healing chemicals to aid recovery and enhance rehabilitation.
There is a wealth of evidence for the use of acupuncture as a means of reducing pain via the stimulation of the brain and spinal cord. This treatment causes the production of natural pain relieving chemicals including endorphins, melatonin (which promotes sleep) and serotonin (which promotes feelings of wellbeing). Through these chemicals acupuncture, acupressure and electro-acupuncture all augment the repair mechanisms and accelerate recovery. This initial treatment can often alleviate symptoms to allow the introduction of other physiotherapy treatments including exercise, muscle strengthening and rehabilitation to achieve more effective results.
Conditions We Treat
At our acupuncture treatment centre we are able to effectively treat a range of conditions including:
Any complex pain pattern
Migraine
Fibromyalgia syndrome
Polymyalgia rheumatica
Chronic back and neck pain
Sciatica and many other nerve pains and many more pathologies
Our physiotherapists are well trained and have a sound research and evidence base for the use of acupuncture as a treatment. Based at our treatment centre, the physiotherapist will utilise single use, pre-sterilised, disposable needles of varying widths, lengths and materials to pierce the skin at the acupuncture points. Acupuncture needles are very fine compared to an injection needle (the same width as human hair) and cause minimal pain. The therapist will determine the locations of the acupuncture points based on the individual’s assessment. A number of these small needles may be used at each treatment and are typically left in position for 20-30 minutes for maximum benefit.
Our physiotherapists are registered with the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists and have undergone rigorous training with regular educational updates. Acupuncture is a very safe procedure when carried out by our fully qualified professionals.

"Just finished a course of physiotherapy on a calf injury at Xcel Health and can't praise them enough. Friendly, welcoming and professional staff and my physio Xavier has been excellent throughout, providing great treatment and advice. This isn't my first visit to Xcel Heath and when I found that I needed treatment, there was only one place I was looking to go. Highly recommend."

"We recently moved down from London having used the same physio for years who was excellent. Over the past 3 years I have tried three physiotherapists in the Sittingbourne area and I have finally found through a friend's recommendation probably the best one of all. I was treated by Xavier who completely cured an extremely painful back which I've had for years following surgery I can't thank him enough and would highly recommend Xcel."

"Hi, I'm Carolyne Holding and I've recently had a course of physio treatment at Xcel health. I've had problems with kneck & shoulder pain/tension and have found my treatment at Xcel most beneficial. I cannot thank them enough. I would certainly recommend their practice to anyone. And finally a very big thankyou to Desiree Vaz who treated me"

"I have had several sessions with Desiree and she has been so helpful!! Came to see her with a strained thumb joint that was causing me severe pain for months. A few sessions with her along with the exercises she gave me and I no longer have any pain in my hand!! Would definitely recommend Xcel Health to friends and family."

"My experience at Xcel Health was wonderful. The staff are welcoming, friendly, hospitable and professional. My practitioner was Anagha Chandrashekhar and she is very good at what she does. She made all my physio sessions interesting and helpful. She taught me some new exercises which helped to alleviate the pain in my back and strengthen my biceps. She is very calm, patient and friendly. Every session I attended was good and no complaints. I will definitely recommend Xcel Health to friends."

"I had my first treatment with V. She was amazing, she made me feel relaxed, talked me through each stage in terminology I understood and I left in a lot less pain than I arrived with! I can’t recommend V enough. Thank you!"

"Xcel Health is amazing! My son (age 8) first had treatment there and amazing and big improvements. So helpful. I am having treatment for my ankle and walking issues with Xavier. The pain has gone from 10(being the worst) to 4 and that’s in four appointments. I can now walk without pain, put shoes without pain and now go back too exercise!! I can even go running without pain. Xavier is great and makes me feel comfortable and explains everything in detail."

"I have just had my third session with Xavier and am beyond delighted with my experience of Xcel Health. Xavier is a tremendous physio but what has struck me most about the whole process is the welcoming nature of the entire team.The guys clearly care about the mental health side as much as the physical and are easy to talk to and extremely empathetic.I would recommend Xcel to anybody, outstanding service!"

"I was pretty confident I knew what the problem was when I arrived for my first appointment. It turned out to be something completely different.Xavier explained everything really well without going too technical. I like to understand what’s going on and how to fix it so it was really refreshing that Xavier did that without needing to ask him. I have exercises to help support my recovery but not just a bit of paper or a video to watch, Xavier asked me to do each exercise before I left so that I could feel what muscles I’m trying to engage and He could make adjustments to my positioning so that I get the most out of my effort."
