Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture encompasses Eastern philosophies which look at the body as an organism that is affected by an internal and external environment. This idea leads to the Doctor treating the original problem and not the side effects which are commonly treated in Western medicine. Acupuncture can usually stop chronic pain instantly and also be used to restore motion in a joint, restoring balance.
What is Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a time-honoured therapy rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. It uses ultra-thin, sterile needles inserted into specific points on the body to help regulate energy flow — known as Qi — and to support the body’s natural healing process.
From a modern medical perspective, acupuncture stimulates nerves, muscles, and connective tissue, helping to release endorphins, improve circulation, and promote overall healing.
Benefits of Acupuncture
With regular sessions, acupuncture can provide a wide range of benefits, including:
Relief from chronic or acute pain such as back pain, neck pain, arthritis, or headaches
Faster recovery from injuries by improving circulation and reducing inflammation
Reduction of stress, anxiety, and improvement of sleep quality
Support for digestive and hormonal balance
Enhanced overall wellness, energy, and mood
What to Expect During Your Session
During your first visit, our licensed acupuncturist will discuss your health history, current concerns, and wellness goals. You’ll lie comfortably on a treatment table while fine, sterile needles are gently inserted at specific points on your body.
Most people feel only a mild tingling or warmth and quickly enter a state of deep relaxation. A session usually lasts 45–60 minutes, and many clients report feeling calm, light, and rejuvenated afterward.
You may be given simple after-care recommendations such as staying hydrated and resting to maximize the benefits.
