Acupuncture to Restore Balance

Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into the body at specific points to release any blockages and allow your body’s electromagnetic energy to flow freely. Acupuncture treatments address imbalances that arise from physical and emotional stress, poor nutrition, infection or injury. Acupuncture works by reducing inflammation, improving circulation, decreasing pain, releasing endorphins, increasing tissue healing, and balancing hormones.

Musculoskeletal Conditions

Acupuncture treatment has been found to be effective at treating musculoskeletal conditions, such as arthritis, carpal tunnel, localized traumatic injuries, sprains, or strains, osteoarthritis, sciatica, and many others. Our trained and experienced acupuncturists insert thin, sterile needles into your skin at various depths to stimulate your body’s healing.

Neurological Conditions

Many athletes have found benefits in treating their neurological conditions using acupuncture. These conditions include disc problems, facial palsy, headaches or migraines, intercostal neuralgia, peripheral neuropathy, or other neurological conditions. Neurological obstructions can occur along the body’s meridians or electromagnetic energy pathways, which can be stimulated to unblock the flow of energy and facilitate healing.

Respiratory Conditions

Training and improving your lung’s oxygen capacity is important for many high performing athletes. Our expert acupuncturists can help you treat various respiratory conditions, such as acute bronchitis, sinusitis, asthma, chest infections, allergies, sore throat or other respiratory conditions.

Gastrointestinal Conditions

Athletes need a high-performance diet to perform at their best. Rigorous training or dieting may have an impact on your gastrointestinal health. Acupuncture has been found to be effective at treating many gastrointestinal conditions, such as acute or chronic colitis and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acute or chronic gastritis, constipation or diarrhea, hyperacidity or acid reflux, and many others.
Our Approach to Acupuncture

Our approach to acupuncture integrates Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) philosophy with a modern, scientific understanding of anatomy, physiology and pathology, to relieve your pain and improve your performance. We work closely with each patient, tailoring a program to your needs with patient-centred care.

If your muscle is relaxed, you will likely not feel the acupuncture needle penetrate your skin. But, if your muscle is tense or tight, you will likely feel a tense, shortening of the muscles, and a desensitization of pain that arises from ‘neuropathy’.

During our initial assessment, our Registered Acupuncturists will learn about your existing medical conditions, as well as your health concerns and goals. Then, we will begin treatment by inserting thin, sterile needles along the meridian lines of your body. These needles will remain inserted for up to 30 minutes, releasing any blockages and allowing energy to flow.

Acupuncture is a therapeutic modality that uses needles, laser or an electric current to stimulate acupuncture points in your body. These treatments address imbalances that arise from physical and emotional stress, poor nutrition, infection or injury. Acupuncture works by reducing inflammation, improving circulation, decreasing pain, releasing endorphins, increasing tissue healing, and balancing hormones.
