Acupuncture

Acupuncture at our clinic is provided within a structured care approach that may support pain management, general wellness, and stress-related concerns.

Understanding Acupuncture Treatment

Acupuncture can be understood as a form of dry needling guided by Traditional Chinese Medicine principles. Fine needles are inserted into specific meridians and acupoints to stimulate the flow of Qi (energy) and restore balance in the body. You may feel sensations like soreness, heaviness, or tightness during the treatment—these are normal and indicate that the energy pathways are being activated.

After acupuncture, it’s common to experience certain reactions:

  • Mild pain after acupuncture or soreness in the needled areas

  • A strong urge to drink water

  • A need to use the washroom

These responses show that your body is processing the treatment and beginning its natural healing.
