What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture involves the insertion of small, fine needles into specific points of the body in order to promote healing, decrease pain, and increase movement and function. 
 
Because of acupuncture’s direct effects on the nervous system, many people that have pain as well as stress, anxiety, or low energy levels find that acupuncture helps them feel more balanced and improves their overall wellness, in addition to treating their specific condition. 
 
Acupuncture is a modality that may be used as part of your Physiotherapy treatment plan. Some examples include treating: 

  • Acute pain
  • Chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia
  • Musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction
  • Acute or chronic inflammation and swelling 
  • Nerve pain or altered sensation
  • Headaches
  • Post-concussion symptoms 
  • Impairments post-stroke
  • Weak muscles (via neuromuscular stimulation)
  • Nervous system dysfunction and imbalance
  • Sport recovery and injury prevention
    ​
Most acupuncture treatment last between 10 to 20 minutes. Patients often feel an achy, heavy sensation which is completely normal. Sharp pain or severe discomfort should not be felt. Any questions and concerns that you have regarding acupuncture will be discussed prior to your first treatment.
