Dry Needling & Acupuncture In Aberdeen

We understand the frustration that chronic headaches, muscle pain, and restricted movement can have on your life. That is why we at ER Physiotherapy Aberdeen offer dry needling and acupuncture, which are highly effective treatments that can help you find relief and regain your full range of motion.

What is Dry Needling and Acupuncture?

Dry needling is a specialised physiotherapy technique derived in Western medicine to address muscle tightness, pain and inflammation. Targeting trigger points, and sources of tension, with the aim to reduce musculoskeletal pain, improve circulation, and reduce injury.

Acupuncture is derived from Eastern medicine, concerned with energy flow through the body in channels called meridians. Stimulation of these meridians is believed to unlock blocked energy, thought to be a cause of pain, to improve health and allow the body to heal itself.

Experience the Benefits:

Pain Management: Dry needling and acupuncture have both been shown to significantly reduce muscle and joint pain. We find great benefits in using these techniques with people who have had an ache for a long time and haven’t had success with other treatment.

Reduced headaches and migraines: Constant headaches or debilitating migraines cause disruption to your life. You don’t need to live with it! At ER Physiotherapy Aberdeen we see great results with dry needling and acupuncture with our clients who have suffered from a long history of headaches and migraines.

Testimonials

Ewan was fantastic with helping me fully recover from a muscular injury sustained when playing golf.
He was very knowledgeable and quickly identified the issue, and over the following weeks put a plan in place which we worked through to get me back to full fitness in what felt like no time at all.
I would highly recommend Ewan to anyone and would certainly see him again for any issues I have in the future

Fantastic first ever physio session with Ewan! He is super helpful, friendly and clearly well versed in what he is doing as the exercises he prescribed worked a charm! He even went the extra mile and checked my form while lifting so I can go back to benching again with confidence knowing my shoulder won't suffer. So glad I booked with him, will for sure recommend to family and friends!

Fantastic treatment again from Ewan! His knowledge and quick identification of the issue always impresses. A clear & concise plan makes me feel that I have all the info I need to progress towards a pain-free body as well as follow up appointments when needed. Absolutely recommended!

I attended ER PHYSIOTHERAPY to receive treatment for upper back and neck pain and with just one session my symptoms improved. Ewan is very professional and welcoming. He listens carefully then makes the diaognosis. I was given exercises to do which helped relieve symptoms recurring. I would highly recommend ER Physiotherapy to family and friends!

Had a brilliant visit with Ewan. I felt I was forming a humped back and he confirmed my fears but reassured me this was fixable. He clicked my back and neck a few times and sent me away with exercises. Booked in for a second appointment already. Brilliant service.

Mounting pain and issues with movement - hip pain and leg pain forced me to get an appointment quickly. I’ve used MSK Therapy before, both for physio and massage it’s always a professional service. I’m hyper mobile and there is a recognition and awareness of what that means for my functionality.
I was quickly assessed by Ewen ( physio) and exercises demonstrated and encouraged. I came away and will do my best to tackle the exercises. I have a follow up already booked. A great service in a great venue.
Thankyou.

Very good practice. Ewan was very helpful and took notes of my minor ailment. Following some manipulation of the particular muscle group I noticed an immediate improvement to my pain. Further to that Ewan sent some exercises to practice in between appointments which was very helpful.👍

Such a great service, Ewan made me feel so comfortable and knew exactly what was causing my back pain and was able to help me immediately. Couldn't recommend them enough.

I cannot thank Ewan enough for getting me back to living a more normal life again. I’d highly recommend working with Ewan at ER Physiotherapy, if it’s just a tune up to working on deeper issues he’s the physio you want!

1st time seeing a chiropractor and it was a pleasant experience. Ewan is very good at what he does, i left with a 100% relief from my upper back pain

I went to see Ewan after having pain in my knee whilst weight training. He created an individualised treatment plan for me alongside demonstrating and explaining each of the exercises. He was really friendly and obviously has a wide scope of knowledge and practice. I am now pain free and would highly recommend Ewan!

Ewan was brilliant during my appointment. He was really thorough and talked me through everything he was doing.
His treatment and rehab plan was brilliant. Looking forward to continuing my treatment with ER Physiotherapy!

After coming to Ewan with severe knee tracking issues I'd been having for 6 months, he was able to diagnose the issue and provide me with exercises which had an immediate positive effect. In 10 weeks I've gone from having excruciating pain walking down the stairs to being able to squat 70kg for reps (something I thought I may never do again).

Fantastic adjustment for my back pain today can't wait for my next appointment Ewan was brilliant

Ewan was a great help with the issues I had and provided great guidance to get me back to full fitness

I’ve seen Ewan numerous times for various niggles and injuries caused by hockey and CrossFit! Ewan has a broad knowledge of sports and therapies. I was also initially skeptical of using acupuncture for a shoulder / neck issue but Ewan talked me through it and gave me other options should I not want to. I’ve always had success in rehab-ing injuries when following up with exercises provided too! Would definitely recommend!

I booked an appointment with Ewan for an initial back issue. Based on Ewans knowledge he identified the issue but also got to the root cause of why this happened which enabled me to change multiple areas of my training to prevent in future. Would highly reccomend.

I went to see Ewan at ER Physiotherapy after recommendations from friends. Over a few sessions he addressed my chronic pain issues and gave me clear and thorough strengthening exercises whilst explaining in depth the issues surrounding my pain. With his help using sports massage, acupuncture, adjustments and exercises I am now pain free and would highly recommend Ewan to anyone struggling with pain issues, injuries or muscle weakness.

Had been having neck pain for a few years which was causing headaches and overall annoyance during the day. Ewan managed to help massively where NHS weren’t sure what was causing it and I can now get through my days without being in pain!

Ewan is excellent at his job. Very friendly, puts you at ease and gets your ailments sorted! Definitely recommend.

Special thanks to Ewan for his knowledge and patience in helping me shake off a pinched nerve issue that was holding me back from doing the exercises that I enjoyed and restricting my movements The discomfort has gone and it is all thanks to Ewan whom I fully recommend for physiotherapy

Put at ease and given a thorough examination and explanation throughout. Very knowledgeable and professional. Thoroughly recommend.

Ewan was really nice and helpful. He explained everything throughly and even after the first appointment I am feeling already better.

Very professional and helpful! I would highly recommend him to everyone who needs to the treatment.

Seeing improvements after first consultation. Exercises provided to work on for next time. 👍 …

Great, friendly service. My son is very pleased with the advice and guidance he received from Ewan.

Year long knee pain diagnosed in 15 minutes and pain gone within a week after following the exercises given. Couldn’t recommend it enough 👍 …
