Acupuncture Appointments

Acupuncture is a regulated, evidence-informed therapy rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and increasingly integrated with modern pain science. Licensed practitioners (e.g., Registered Acupuncturists, Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners, and some physiotherapists or physicians trained in medical acupuncture) assess your symptoms and overall health to create targeted treatment plans using fine, sterile needles at specific points. Treatments may also include electroacupuncture, auricular acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, and heat therapies like moxibustion.

Acupuncture can help with musculoskeletal pain (back, neck, shoulder, knee), headaches and migraines, osteoarthritis, tendinopathies, sciatica, TMJ dysfunction, nausea, stress and anxiety, sleep disturbances, pelvic and menstrual pain, and fertility support. Care aims to reduce pain, calm the nervous system, decrease inflammation, improve circulation, and restore functional movement-often complementing other rehabilitative or medical treatments when appropriate.

In many regions, acupuncture provided by licensed practitioners is covered by extended health insurance plans, and a physician referral is typically not required to begin care.
