What does medical acupuncture involve?
Our osteopaths at Move Easy Osteopathy are all trained in medical acupuncture.
Following a detailed case history to ensure the treatment will be safe, dry needling can be really effective at easing pain and tension.
Medical Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into certain painful points in muscles (called trigger points) to calm the nervous system and therefore decrease tension and pain.
We often use dry needling in our osteopathy treatments, but please be aware that this is always your choice and there are no issues if you decide you do not want dry needling.
Full and informed consent will always be obtained before performing the technique.
Please note that we do require access to the skin in order to accurately treat these trigger points, so please bring appropriate clothing. We can use towels to cover you when necessary.

Does medical acupuncture hurt?
The process of medical acupuncture isn’t usually painful.
Just like all treatments, it may be uncomfortable during and for a short while after but we will keep treatment intensity within your limits and preferences.
A lot of patients report they don’t even notice the needles going in.

EXCELLENT Based on 131 reviews Abby Lavie2025-03-21 Dom is the best! He's helped me with several orthopedic issues I've had over the last few years and I don't think I would be able to function in my day to day without him. He diagnosed an issue several doctors and scans took months to figure out. Corrin Shlomo2024-12-06 I had really bad pain and Dominic’s sessions were life saving. He is extremely patient and very professional. I am now pain free, and it couldn’t have happened without his help. I highly recommend him. Thank you Dom for all of your help! ruth kevin2024-10-15 I was recommended to Dominic by my GP as she had received treatment from him personally. I was extremely pleased by the diagnosis and treatment for my T4 back issue. Not only is her very friendly and personable but he also explained enough of the relevant information re my condition to make me have a clearer understanding of my role in my recovery. I have recommend him to other family members who have also made referrals to their friends. Rachel Montgomery2024-09-10 I’ve struggled with daily headaches and migraines for years, and nothing seemed to help—neither physiotherapy nor medication provided lasting relief. When my migraines worsened during pregnancy and I couldn’t take certain medications, I decided to see Dom, and I’m so glad I did. Within just a few weekly treatments, I noticed a significant improvement. My headaches became less frequent and much less painful, which was sincerely life-changing. Not only did it improve my pain, but it also boosted my mood and energy, allowing me to enjoy life more, especially being able to play with my children again. Dom was incredibly reassuring throughout the process, always explaining exactly what he was doing and why. His knowledge and calm approach gave me complete confidence in the treatment. I was skeptical anything would really help me at this point, but I highly recommend Dom to anyone struggling with similar issues!" Lauren L2024-06-28 I received treatment from both Dom and Jess for neck and shoulder pain that was causing migraines. After a negative experience with a different osteopath, I was initially apprehensive, however Dom and Jess were incredibly respectful and made sure I felt comfortable throughout all my sessions. They were both highly professional, friendly, and thorough in explaining the issues and the steps required to resolve my neck pain. Dom also provided a set of exercises to do at home, which greatly aided my recovery. Since these sessions, my shoulder and neck pain have significantly improved - I highly recommend their services :) Angela Shah2024-02-20 Would totally recommend Jess at Move Easy. She is knowledgeable, with great treatment in the room but also she follows up with suggestions for exercises. Amy Fox2024-02-15 I have been seeing Dominic for some time now due to a long-standing spinal issue and a more recent post-Covid problem. He is an outstanding Osteopath. He has a modern, wholistic approach and is full of enthusiasm for his profession and his patients. He has helped me immensely, my spine is the best it’s been since the initial disc injury. He combines a range of techniques including acupuncture, massage and manipulation. He gives advice on exercises to help strengthen. He is highly skilled and has an in-depth knowledge of anatomy & physiology. You always feel in safe hands. He is very respectful of treating women patients and will always ask or check if you feel comfortable before proceeding. He wants only the best for his patients and to keep you as pain free and healthy as possible. I highly recommend him. Rona Anderson-Witty2023-12-23 Just the best, evidence based, no nonsense osteopath ever. Great diagnostic assessments, targeted manipulations and follow up exercises. I've recommended Dom to multiple friends, family, colleagues and patients of my own and he's been extremely helpful to all. CoachClark2023-10-04 Best Osteopath in North London! Doms knowledge and attention to detail is 10/10, giving you detailed explanation of what the issue is AND HOW TO FIX IT. Always come out of move easy feeling better than I came in! Thank you! 🙏🏼 Victoria Oyenuga2023-10-04 Claire was amazing! I came in with lower back pain and she took her time to find the root cause, helped me with the tight muscles in my back and gave me exercises to help.
