acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine
Stimulating acupuncture points throughout the body can encourage the release of chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain to promote physical and emotional well-being.
Conditions and ailments that can be alleviated by acupuncture include nausea, headaches and migraines, menstrual cramps, infertility, muscular pain/weakness/injuries, osteoarthritis, asthma, digestion issues, insomnia, depression, neuropathy, and preparing a body for labour and birth.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) & Acupuncture Treatments might include needling, tui-na, gua-sha, fire cupping or cupping, reflexology, electric-stimulation, moxibustion, herbal prescriptions and TCM diet recommendations.
Moxibustion is a form of heat therapy where loose herbs, or a herbal cone/stick is used to warm and detoxify the body.
The burning of the moxa encourages blood flow to the area and can improve circulation and reduce inflammation. Our skilled acupuncturists use moxibustion in treatments for chronic fatigue, digestion issues, cold/flu-like symptoms and allergies.
People who are pregnant may have their nausea and vomiting reduced or treated using acupuncture.
Acupuncture can also help to alleviate aches and pains during pregnancy. People also use acupuncture to prepare their body and mind for labour and birth, to minimize labour pains, and to turn breech babies at term.
Acupuncture can help to regulate conditions related to infertility such as endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and painful/irregular menstruation. Activating points throughout the female body can increase blood flow to the uterus and reproductive organs, regulate hormones, and ultimately promote ovulation.
When focusing on fertility in TCM, moxibustion is used to warm the reproductive organs as it is true that "no buns can bake in a cold oven."
Whether you need to indulge yourself with a wellness facial and cosmetic treatment that will leave you rejuvenated and relaxed, or if you need to address specific tension and dysfunction in your jaw (iTemporomandibular joint disorder - TMJ), facial acupuncture encompasses targeted skills and modalities that will be tailored to you.
Our acupuncturist will define with you what will be the best treatment of care and may incorporate needling (body and face), gua-sha and gentle cupping and massage.

Description of prenatal acupuncture treatment:
Acupuncture is commonly used in early pregnancy to alleviate morning sickness, nausea and vomiting or motion sensitivity. It also provides natural relief from common pregnancy pains, such as lower back pain, Pelvic girdle pain, sciatica, or headaches. It can be a drug-free option for those avoiding medications during pregnancy.
Moxibustion (a heat-based technique used alongside acupuncture) is sometimes used to help turn breech babies into a head-down position—especially around weeks 34–38.
Additionally, specific acupuncture points are used to optimize uterine and pelvic space through muscle relaxation
In the last weeks of pregnancy, starting around week 36 or 37, acupuncture can be used in a supportive, preparatory way to encourage a smoother, more efficient labor process.
Acupuncture may promote cervical ripening, increase blood flow to the uterus and support hormonal balance for a smoother labor onset. Some evidence suggests it can shorten labor duration and reduce the need for medical induction.
