OPMSC now offers the services of a Specialist Anaesthetist and Medical Acupuncturist, Dr Euahna Varigos

Acupuncture assists in reducing swelling in the acute injury and post-operative period. This helps with pain management and the early stages of rehabilitation.

Medical acupuncture can also be an effective treatment for many other medical conditions such as:

• Headache, e.g. migraine, stress and tension headaches
• Muscular and skeletal injuries and sports injuries
• Women’s health, including pelvic pain, endometriosis, dysmennorhea
• Stress related conditions
• Pain syndromes, post-surgical pain relief and recovery.

A referral from a doctor is essential before seeing Dr Varigos and often it is most efficient and appropriate to see a sports physician or registrar here at OPMSC first to arrange this.
