Restore balance and improve your quality of life

Restore the body’s nerve-muscle conductivity, reduce pain and improved physical function, performance and overall well-being

 

Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the nervous system and soft tissue in those areas. Acupuncture is often used to treat acute or chronic pain and other symptoms and is also used to restore neuromuscular dysfunction by adding electric current to the needles. It is a safe and effective alternative or complementary therapy for many conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, muscular weakness and tightness and can also be used to treat headaches, concussions, and hormonal imbalances.

  • Musculoskeletal system: acupuncture can improve function of muscles, tendons and joints, making it useful for conditions such as muscle weakness or spasms causing back, neck, or shoulder pain and instability and other musculoskeletal imbalances.
  • Nervous system: acupuncture has been shown to have a restorative effect on the nervous system, making it helpful for conditions such as chronic or acute pain, or more complicated health related problems, such as Fibromyalgia, strokes, Parkinson’s disease and vertigo.
  • Other alternative health benefits: Although as a rehabilitative tool used by our physio, chiro and massage therapists, acupuncture can also be used as an aide to address systemic issues, like, digestive and respiratory problems, and immune and reproductive system imbalances.
