Medical Acupuncture

Medical Acupuncture utilizes precise needle insertion techniques guided by an in-depth understanding of human anatomy and physiology to treat a variety of musculoskeletal disorders. The insertion of fine needles enhances blood circulation to injured areas and overly tight muscles, to speed up the healing process by delivering nutrients and removing waste products from the tissue. Medical acupuncture may also reduce the perception of pain and reduce tissue inflammation.
The addition of electrical stimulation (which can be incorporated) to the needles can further augment this therapeutic effect by enhancing the acupuncture's interaction with the nervous system.
In practice, medical acupuncture is often integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan that may include Chiropractic or Traditional Chinese Medicine. If you are a new patient please book an Initial Chiropractic Appointment or Initial Acupuncture Appointment. If you are an existing patient, this acupuncture can be incorporated into your follow up treatments!
