Treatments

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient form of Chinese medicine which started about 2000 ago, and these days we know how it works. A qualified health professional inserts fine needles into different points on the body and the process stimulates the nerves.

Amputations

An amputation is the removal of a body part. Removal could be the result of an accident (traumatic injury) or a planned amputation due to disease or a tumour.

Arterial Surgery

Endocrine

Your endocrine system is made up of all the glands in your body that produce hormones. If your hormone levels become unbalanced your endocrine system signals one or more of these glands to correct the level.

Endovascular treatment

Endovascular treatments are minimally invasive procedures to treat problems with blood vessels.

General anaesthetic

General Anaesthetic (GA) is a combination of drugs that causes a deep sleep.

Guanethidine block injections

Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy is a form of physiotherapy that is administered in a special heated pool. The warm water helps relieve pain and relax the body, so increasing ease of movement.

Interventional radiology

Interventional radiology is a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery that uses radiological image guidance (X-rays, ultrasound, CT and MRI) to aid treatment.

Local anaesthetic

Local anaesthetic is a drug that is injected into a specific area of your body causing loss of feeling.

Mole removal

Moles are a form of pigmented lesion. Benign (non cancerous) lesions can simply be left alone. However if your mole bothers you in any way, our expert team at Nuffield Health Bournmouth hospital may recommend removal (excision).
