Acupuncture is a safe, non-invasive therapy that helps alleviate pain, improve function and promote the body’s natural healing process.

All of our Registered Physiotherapists are AFCI (Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute) certified.

What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient method of treatment involving the insertion of very fine needles at specific acupuncture sites throughout the body. Acupuncture needles stimulate the body to produce endorphins, which are pain relieving chemicals that have an anti-inflammatory effect. Acupuncture needles are fine, flexible and smooth, so they do not cause bleeding or tissue damage.
Acupuncture treatment is typically used in combination with more traditional forms of therapy. We sometimes recommend acupuncture in combination with manual therapy to treat patients with musculoskeletal complaints like:
- Back pain
- Sciatica
- Headaches
- TMJ disorders
- Sports injuries
Acupuncture combined with physiotherapy is especially effective if you are an athlete looking to prevent or recover from a sports injury or are an active senior who wants to improve overall health.
