Falknors needling
Falknors needling is an innovative and effective treatment for verrucae. It is a form of soft tissue therapy which is intended to break down the verruca and create a controlled inflammatory response which, in turn, stimulates the body’s immune system to recognise the virus and destroy it. Needling is different from most other treatment as it only requires one, or occasionally two, applications.
Carried out painlessly under a local anaesthetic with little pain in the following days reported, this is now classed as the gold standard of treatment.
We welcome you to our a ground floor practice with free, on street parking and easy access for those with mobility issues. Situated close to Monkseaton Front Street, the practice is just five minutes walk from Monkseaton Metro Station.
