Acupuncture

Acupuncture

Our Naturopathic Doctors are trained and qualified to perform acupuncture. Acupuncture uses thin needles to stimulate points found all over the body. By stimulating these points acupuncture can treat a wide variety of conditions.

What can acupuncture help me with?
Muscle or Joint Pain (Back, Knee, etc.)
Stress
Depression
Anxiety
Fertility
Digestive concerns
Headaches and migraines
Irregular and/or painful periods

Does acupuncture hurt?
Most people will not experience any feeling with the majority of the points used. A more common sensation is one of heaviness while the needle remains inserted.

How long do treatments take and how many will I need?
Treatments are generally 30 minutes in length and done in a quite and peaceful environment to allow for total relaxation. We recommend starting with 6 consecutive weeks of treatment, followed by maintenance appointments. This being said, each person is different and recommendations will vary depending on goal/treatment/conditions.

Cosmetic Acupuncture and Facial Rejuvenation

Cosmetic acupuncture involves the insertion of hair-fine needles into specific point on the face and body. This process increases blood flow to the face to nourish the skin and relax tension in the muscles of the forehead and jaw.
