Acupuncture is the practice of penetrating the skin with thin, solid metal needles that are then activated by gentle, targeted movements of the practitioner’s hands or by electrical stimulation.

How acupunture can help you?

Acupuncture can be very useful to alleviate and manage pain. Current research in pain management provides concrete neurophysiological evidence for the use of acupuncture in a wide variety of pain syndromes.

Acupuncture stimulates the body to produce its own pain relieving chemicals called endorphins. Which help to block pathways that relay pain messages from the body to the brain.

The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural abilities. Reducing inflammation and promoting physical and emotional well-being.

Several of our physiotherapists have specialized training in acupuncture and are accredited by the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute.
