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.

Shockwave Therapy is a non-surgical method that is effective at reducing muscle, ligament, and bone pain.
How does it work?
High-energy sound waves move through the body tissues which stimulates the body's natural healing properties. The sound waves stimulate an increase in blood flow to the area and necessary growth hormones flock to the area where damaged and/or injured muscles, tendons and ligaments are located.
Shockwave therapy encourages the alignment of collagen fibers that add strength to the neighbouring tendons, muscles, and ligaments.
Shockwave therapy also stimulates pain-inhibiting chemicals which reduces pain sensations in treated areas. Shockwave Therapy is useful at treating chronic pain disorders, and pain caused by tension, strains, inflammation, trauma and injuries.
If you are curious about Shockwave Therapy and wonder if it is a suitable treatment option, then ask us. Services can be used as a part of your existing therapy, or as a stand-alone treatment.
Shockwave Therapy is most often incorporated into therapeutic treatment plans by physiotherapists, athletic therapists, acupuncturists, and sports medicine doctors.
Shockwave Therapy is able to address small areas and parts of the body that have not responded to other methods of treatment.
Shockwave Therapy is a preferred treatment method in sports medicine and orthopedic medicine. Individuals who experience plantar fasciitis, who have had knee, hip, and shoulder surgery, and sports-related injuries can benefit from shockwave therapy.
What can I expect?
Appointments are usually between 15-45 minutes in length.
People usually notice some pain relief approximately 24-hours after the treatment. Treatment plans vary but most people get the most benefit from three to five appointments over several weeks.
Speed up your recovery:
Research performed by Storz Medical has shown that shockwave therapy is effective at treating several conditions.
