Bringing Harmony & Balance
Acupuncture is an effective treatment technique that originates from ancient Chinese medicine. It is based on the theory that illness is a result of imbalances in the body’s energy.
Traditional Chinese Acupuncture works to restore energy balance within the body allowing natural healing to occur.
Western Acupuncture, used by most physiotherapists, stimulates specific points in the body to decrease pain by releasing the body’s own natural painkillers.
Acupuncture treatments involve the insertion of very fine needles into these specific body points. The number and location of points will be determined by your physiotherapist after a comprehensive assessment.
There is generally minimal to no discomfort experienced with acupuncture. You may experience a sharp pricking sensation followed by a sensation of warmth. These are temporary sensations and should be associated with only mild discomfort.
Acupuncture is a very safe treatment. All needles are single use and pre- sterilized. All
Physiotherapists practicing acupuncture must be certified with the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute.
