Acupuncture in Acton, West London
If you’re looking for Acupuncture in Acton, West London for pain, muscular tension, stress or headaches, ODNOVA Massage & Sports Therapy offers personalised acupuncture that can be used independently or combined with therapeutic massage.
Fine, sterile, single-use needles are placed at carefully selected acupuncture points according to your individual needs. Where appropriate, Acupuncture can be combined with Sports Massage, Deep Tissue Massage and other soft tissue techniques as part of an integrated treatment approach.
What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a traditional therapeutic technique involving the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body. Traditional Chinese Medicine describes these points in relation to meridians and the flow of Qi, while acupuncture is also widely used today as a complementary approach for pain management and wellbeing.
At ODNOVA, treatment is personalised following consultation rather than using the same combination of acupuncture points for every client.
What Can Acupuncture Help With?
Back & Lower Back Pain: Acupuncture may be used as a complementary approach for back and lower back pain, particularly alongside massage and other soft tissue techniques where muscular tension is involved.
Neck & Shoulder Pain: Neck and shoulder discomfort can be associated with muscular tension, prolonged desk work, repetitive activity and physical loading. Depending on your individual presentation, Acupuncture may be incorporated alongside targeted massage techniques.
Muscular Pain & Tension: Acupuncture can form part of a broader treatment approach for muscular pain and tightness affecting areas such as the back, shoulders, hips and legs. Where appropriate, treatment can be combined with Deep Tissue Massage or Sports Massage.
Headaches & Muscular Tension: Acupuncture may be considered as a complementary approach for certain types of headache, including where stress or muscular tension may be contributing factors. Persistent, severe, sudden or unexplained headaches should always be medically assessed.
Stress & Relaxation: Some clients choose Acupuncture primarily as part of their relaxation and wellbeing routine. For a more comprehensive stress-focused treatment, acupuncture can also be incorporated into ODNOVA’s Relaxation & Anti-Stress Massage Therapy.
Sports & Exercise-Related Problems: Acupuncture may also be incorporated into treatment for muscular soreness and physical problems associated with training, repetitive activity and exercise. For sports-related problems, it can be combined with Sports Massage, mobility work and other appropriate techniques.

Acupuncture Combined With Massage
At ODNOVA, Acupuncture does not need to be provided as an isolated treatment.
Depending on your needs, your session may combine:
• Acupuncture
• Sports Massage
• Deep Tissue Massage
• Trigger Point Therapy
• Myofascial techniques
• MET and stretching techniques
• Mobility work
This allows the treatment to address your individual presentation rather than relying on a single technique.
Acupuncture or Dry Needling?
Although both techniques use fine sterile needles, Acupuncture and Dry Needling are different approaches. Acupuncture uses recognised acupuncture points and may be selected for a broader range of treatment goals, including pain management, headaches, stress and general wellbeing. Dry Needling focuses primarily on musculoskeletal problems, muscular trigger points and localised areas of muscular tension.
The most appropriate approach depends on your symptoms and treatment goals.
What to Expect
Before treatment, we will discuss your main concerns, relevant health information and treatment goals. Fine, sterile, single-use needles are then inserted into selected acupuncture points and usually retained for a period of time while you relax.
The number and location of needles vary according to the individual treatment.

Enjoy better results with PACKAGES!
One treatment is, in most cases, insufficient because the source of the pain is in the deeper layers of the tissue. Therefore, a series of treatments is recommended to achieve the best results. Usually, the first few massages should take place every few days, and then you can increase the time intervals between sessions.
If you are interested in a real solution to a problem, and not just its temporary "healing", a series of massage sessions is the best solution for you:
Packages:
3 sessions - 5% off if paid in advance
5 sessions - 10% off if paid in advance
10 sessions - 15% off if paid in advance

Each massage is preceded by a consultation, during which you will be asked about your expectations: whether this is stress and anxiety reduction, from tight or painful muscles, an improvement on a recent injury, or simply relaxation. You will also be asked about any temporary or chronic health conditions, as this will help establish the areas that need to be concentrated on or avoided. All this is important so that the right type of massage is tailored to your treatment.

Depending on the massage, you will have the option to either lie on a table or sit in a chair for your massage.
Most massage techniques involve lying on a cushioned table as well pillows to support different areas of your body, If you choose a table massage, you will be left in the treatment room, so that you can undress to your level of comfort and get snug underneath the towel. You may also stay fully clothed if you prefer to. During the massage, the areas which are not being worked on in the given moment will be covered with a blanket to keep you comfortable and warm.
If you choose a chair massage, you won't need to remove your clothing.
During all types of massage, you will be asked if the pressure is right. Harder pressure is mostly applied in deep tissue massage as muscles tend to be extremely tense. Please feel free to communicate if at any point the pressure is too hard or too light, as every person is different.
Massages are carried out using aromatherapy oils or lotions to moisturise the skin. If you are allergic to any common ingredients of body oils or lotions, please advise beforehand.
A typical massage lasts about an hour, although sessions can range from 60 to 90 minutes.
After a massage, you will be left in the treatment room alone to relax for a few minutes and then get dressed. After the treatment, most people feel extremely relaxed and free from long-term aches, there is also a feeling of increased energy which may last for days afterward. If you have gone for a deep tissue massage, you may feel slightly tender to start with, but after your muscles get used to the relaxed state, you should feel much better.
Most people like to close their eyes and relax, but if you prefer to chat or have any questions to ask then feel free to ask them. It’s all about your relaxation and you should do whatever makes you feel most comfortable.
