Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a healing technique originating in China thousand of years ago, and involves the insertion of extremely thin needles in your skin at strategic points on your body. The traditional Chinese theory explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of 'energy, life force' chi/qi. Acupuncture has been shown to relieve pain and reduce the nausea, vomiting after surgery or chemotherapy. It is also believed to help in symptoms of fatigue, stress, headaches and to improve an individual’s general well being.

According to the Mayo Clinic in USA, western practitioners view acupuncture as a way to stimulate nerves and soft tissues, which is believed to boost the body’s natural painkillers and increase blood flow. The UK NHS’s National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) reported that short-term courses of acupuncture is cost effective in improving pain control and recommend acupuncture as a form of complementary therapy for back pains.

Business Health Ireland offers acupuncture as part of our multidisciplinary management for suitable individuals after appropriate medical assessment.

Physical Therapy and Sports Therapy

Physical Therapy is a holistic and patient-centred approach focusing on the evaluation, prevention and manual treatment of soft tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia) conditions. Its goal is to relieve symptoms, limit impairment of functions and restore physical functions.

UK NHS’s National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommend physical activity and manual therapy as part of the treatment modalities for back pains.

Business Health Ireland’s physical therapist will devise a structured and individually tailored exercise programme, manual therapy and follow up programme to manage an individual’s soft tissue disorder. In many cases, such disorders are managed in a multidisciplinary way involving other healthcare faculties including physician, psychologist and dieticians.
