Acupuncture is one of the many skills used in physiotherapy as part of an integrated approach to managing pain, inflammation, and enhancing the body's own healing chemicals to aid recovery and improve rehabilitation.In physiotherapy, acupuncture is used in the context of clinical and research evidence.Traditional Chinese medicine is an ancient system of written scripts that dates back to 1000 BC and is based on a holistic approach to treatment and an understanding of the body's ability to return to a balanced state of health when given the right stimulus.The body has the ability to heal itself; the use of acupuncture or acupressure speeds up the healing process and allows other physiotherapy treatments, such as exercise, muscle strengthening, and rehabilitation, to be more effective.
