Acupuncture at Spire Edinburgh Hospitals Murrayfield and Shawfair Park

Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years, but has only recently started to become integrated into Western medicine. Acupuncture is the practice of puncturing the skin with needles in order to treat conditions such as arthritis pain or back pain.

Our patients are at the heart of what we do and we want you to be in control of your care. To us, that means you can choose the physiotherapist you want to see, and when you want. They'll be with you every step of the way.

All physiotherapists carrying out acupuncture in Spire Healthcare hospitals are qualified therapists and are trained to the standards set by the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists.

We are here to listen and help you every step of the way.

You will have a formal consultation with a specialist of your choice. During this time you will be able to explain your medical history, symptoms and any concerns you might have.

We've tried to make your experience with us as easy and relaxed as possible.
