The D’Souza Clinic offers expert acupuncture and physiotherapy services in Truro, focusing on natural healing and effective pain management. The clinic specialises in treating musculoskeletal conditions and chronic pain by combining traditional physiotherapy with acupuncture.
Mr Reg D’Souza, the clinic’s principal, brings over 40 years of experience. He qualified as a Chartered Physiotherapist (BPhil MCSP GradDipPhys) while serving in the Royal Navy from 1976 to 1989. During this time, he gained valuable medical skills by working on ships and search and rescue helicopters. Later, Reg pursued advanced acupuncture training at the British College of Acupuncture, which trains only health professionals. As an Advanced Member of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists, he applies this expertise daily.
In 1993, Reg conducted research at the University of Exeter on acupuncture and physiotherapy’s effectiveness for severe lower back pain. Since then, he has taught physiotherapists and health professionals across the UK while maintaining a thriving private practice. Moreover, Reg has worked for over 25 years as a Clinical Specialist Physiotherapist (Acupuncturist) at the NHS Pain Relief Clinic in RCHT Treliske, gaining extensive experience with complex pain and chronic low back pain cases.
The clinic offers a comprehensive range of treatments tailored to individual needs. These include:
Physiotherapy: Reg uses hands-on manual therapy and personalised exercise programmes to treat neck pain, back pain, and other musculoskeletal problems. His approach focuses on restoring movement, reducing pain, and improving overall function.
Acupuncture: This natural therapy complements physiotherapy by stimulating the body’s healing process. It targets chronic pain, muscle tension, and nerve issues. Acupuncture can improve circulation, relieve pain, and support recovery.
Chronic Pain Management: With decades of clinical experience, the clinic provides effective strategies to manage and reduce long-term pain. Treatment combines acupuncture and physiotherapy to deliver lasting relief.
At the D’Souza Clinic, you receive care based on proven methods and extensive experience. Reg’s holistic approach means he always looks beyond the immediate site of pain to identify underlying causes. Consequently, he combines physiotherapy and acupuncture to treat the root of the problem and prevent recurrence.
Patients benefit from thorough assessments and personalised treatment plans, ensuring the best possible outcomes. The clinic welcomes both self-referrals and referrals from healthcare professionals. Furthermore, the clinic maintains a safe, professional, and supportive environment for every patient.
