Acupuncture is a therapeutic method used to encourage natural healing, reduce or relieve pain and improve function of affected areas of the body. Acupuncture is safe and effective and is often successfully used as an alternative to many treatments. Relief is often obtained when traditional therapies have failed.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles through the skin and tissues at specific points on the body. There is no injection of any substance and the treatment itself causes minimal discomfort.

"Classical" acupuncture was developed in China as a system of diagnosing and treating pain and disease. Although proven successful for hundreds of years without the benefit of modem medical knowledge, it is only in recent years that the scientific and medical communities in Europe and North America have begun to study acupuncture to understand and explain its effectiveness. 

Acupuncture is used for:

  • Neurological Disorders

"Anatomical" acupuncture refers to a more modem approach taken by the Acupuncture Council of Ontario (ACO) and the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada (AFC) and other medically trained acupuncture therapists. When combined with a knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology, modern doctors can use acupuncture with greater understanding and effectiveness.
