Contemporary Medical Acupuncture uses the careful insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points of the body that regulate the flow of energy. Relatively painless, it often results in sensations of heaviness, warmth or tingling in the area of insertion as the flow of energy increases. The correct balance of energy throughout the body can help relieve many symptoms such as:
- musculoskeletal pain
- joint pain
- inflammation or swelling
- digestive disorders
- sleep
- nerve pain
- emotional imbalances
- stress and headaches

Acupuncture points stimulate the central nervous system which releases endorphins, which are our bodies’ natural pain-relieving hormones, into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These changes stimulate the body's natural healing abilities and promote physical and emotional well-being.

Contemporary Medical Acupuncture is an effective treatment alone or in combination with your Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, Naturopathic, or Massage treatments. The effect of Acupuncture will depend on the nature or cause of your injury or condition.
