Lyn is certified to practice acupuncture/dry needling for musculoskeletal problems and for the purposes of pain relief, and has found it to be very effective in easing the discomfort of chronic back and neck pain.

Derived from ancient Chinese medicine in which very fine needles are inserted at specific sites in the body, western medical acupuncture is the use of acupuncture after a diagnosis.

Scientific evidence shows that the treatment stimulates nerves under the skin and in muscle tissue.

This results in the body producing pain-relieving substances, such as endorphins. It is likely these substances are responsible for the beneficial effects seen with this form of acupuncture.
