Physical Therapy Clinic
Biomedical Acupuncture
Biomedical Acupuncture is a modern, scientifically validated therapeutic method that uses very fine, sterile needles to reduce pain, relax muscles, and improve the function of the neuromuscular system.
Biomedical Acupuncture helps regulate the body’s physiological mechanisms and can positively influence:
- Endogenous analgesic mechanisms, helping to reduce pain
- The neuroendocrine system, by supporting the regulation of the stress response
- The immune system, by enhancing the body’s normal functioning
- The endocrine system, by helping to maintain hormonal balance
Biomedical Acupuncture is always applied within the context of a comprehensive physical therapy evaluation and can be a valuable adjunct in the management of conditions related to dysfunction of the above systems.
What it offers
Why Choose Acupuncture
A safe and effective process:
The acupuncture treatment process begins with the insertion of a sterile, single-use needle into the skin, subcutaneous tissue, or muscle tissue at acupuncture points—that is, at neuroactive points.
Wide range of conditions treated
Painful musculoskeletal syndromes, chronic pain, digestive disorders, nervous system disorders.
Traditional and Modern Treatment
Biomedical Acupuncture is the modern, scientifically validated evolution of traditional acupuncture. Its application is based on the principles of anatomy, neurophysiology, and modern medicine, while its effectiveness is supported by an ever-growing body of scientific evidence.
Mechanism of Action – Neuromodulation
Biomedical Acupuncture works through neuromodulation—that is, by modifying the activity of the nervous system through the stimulation of specific nerve endings. This stimulation affects both the peripheral and central nervous systems, helping to reduce pain, regulate muscle function, and activate the body’s natural healing mechanisms.

Yes. Biomedical Acupuncture is performed by a certified physical therapist using sterile, single-use needles and in accordance with strict hygiene and safety protocols. Following a clinical evaluation, the treatment is tailored to each patient’s needs and medical history.
The number of sessions depends on the type and duration of the problem, as well as on each patient’s response. Following a clinical evaluation, a personalized treatment plan is developed based on your needs. A typical treatment plan consists of 10 sessions.
Most patients feel only a slight prick when the needles are inserted. The needles are extremely thin, sterile, and disposable, and the treatment is usually well tolerated and often accompanied by a feeling of relaxation.
