A tradition
What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a therapeutic method, which originated in China over 5000 years ago. It involves the insertion of fine needles into the body at various precisely determined energetic points. This has the effect of stimulating or provoking certain physiological functions that result in alleviating and/or curing a pathological condition. Acupuncture is now being widely practiced in Canada and the U.S. by traditional acupuncturists as well as medical doctors.

How does acupuncture work?
The theory behind modern acupuncture treatment is that it works to regulate the nervous system, the circulatory system, as well as the endocrine system. Certain acupuncture points releases biochemicals that can ease pain and self healing. Where as others causes neurotransmitters and neurohormones to be released that help the body to be more healthy overall. In fact, acupuncture interrelates and interacts with all the systems of the body to trigger the healing process, alleviate pain, and relieve inflammation.
Precise sensations
Do the treatments hurt?
Contrary to popular belief, acupuncture ispractically painless.
The needles used are extremely fine and a skilled acupuncturist will manipulate them in a way that hardly any sensation is felt as it enters the skin; however a slight pressure or surge may be felt or should be felt when it reaches the appropriate spot under the skin.
A relief
Acupuncture helps you with...
Menopause
According to traditional Chinese medicine, menopause symptoms are a result of an imbalance in the harmony of Yin (which represents matter, body mass and cooling substances) and Yang (which represents movement, circulation and a warming energy). Acupuncture helps to reduce certain symptoms associated with menopause by reestablishing equilibrium.
Insomnia
Those who suffer from insomnia have a tendency to be less alert throughout the day, less productive and often, more irritable. Acupuncture resolves this by exerting a calming effect on one’s entire system. It resolves tension and opens the body up for deeper breathing. This allows for a greater supply of oxygen to the blood and enhances one’s ability to relax.
Stress and Headaches
Stress is the body’s natural response to changes in one’s environment. Acupuncture restores the flow of energy by stimulating specific points in the body, specifically the neck, the back and the head. By relieving tension caused by headaches, acupuncture can eliminate symptoms caused by harmful stress.
Back Pains and Sports Injuries
By working on certain meridians, acupuncture stimulates the production of endorphins known to help relieve pain and discomfort. In the world of sports, acupuncture is used as a preventive measure to improve an athlete’s performance. In the event of an injury, acupuncture accelerates healing by reestablishing the equilibrium that the injury disturbed.
