What is acupuncture?

Holistic health care tailored to your needs!

Acupuncture is the stimulation of Qi, or energy flow throughout the body through the insertion of thin stainless-steel needles into specific sites on the body.

The Qi circulates in the body through a system of channels called meridians and can be stimulated via acupuncture points located on the surface of the body. The stimulation of Qi in the meridians allows the body to rebalance from the negative impacts of daily life and disease.

Acupuncture can help with most issues and give relief and a feeling of wellbeing.

In Canada, acupuncture treatments are widely known for successfully treating muscular skeletal problems and pain. However, you may not know that acupuncture has also been used for thousands of years to treat a wide range of health issues - from digestive upset to Crohn’s disease, menstrual pain and irregularity, respiratory problems, insomnia, post-stroke symptoms, mental health or emotional issues, gastric reflux, or lowered immunity.

Acupuncture uses the body's own mechanisms to heal

Acupuncture treatments are known to stimulate the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS then releases hormones - messenger molecules - into muscles, nerves, and the brain. These molecules can stimulate the body's natural healing, enhancing activate physical and emotional wellbeing.

Decreased stress responses

Acupuncture treatments can help rebalance your body after an experience of acute stress or long-term stress. With acupuncture, the patient is treated as a whole, with the goal of addressing root causes at the same time as treating the symptoms.
