What is Acupuncture Treatment

Choosing acupuncture as part of your wellness routine is a smart move. With the careful placement of needles, an acupuncturist helps alleviate tension, reduce stress, restore balance, improve circulation, and support long-term health.

What is Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a technique used in Chinese medicine and is part of a 2,000-year-old medical system that works by using delicate, thin needles on specific points of the body to create conductivity and activate the body’s meridians.

The human body is comprised of thousands of intricate networks and passages (called Meridians) that connect the body’s network of systems to each other and the brain. A complicated system such as this requires maintenance to keep the flow of communication running smoothly. Since the body is comprised mostly of water, acupuncture uses the metal of the needles to create conductivity in the body to clear out and reconnect these passageways.

Think of the body as an intricate network of streams and rivers; occasionally over time rocks, leaves, and other debris can block the flow of the water like a miniature dam. In the body this is seen as the Qi (energy) and blood (nourishment) getting blocked from reaching their destination, manifesting in the body as sickness and pain. Acupuncture helps to dislodge this debris to get the body’s streams and rivers flowing properly again, resulting in vitality, energy, and overall health.

Our acupuncture treatments are safe, effective, and painless.

The “needles” are actually thinner than a human hair and are inserted gently and painlessly; for most points you don’t even feel the insertion, for others it’s no worse than a pinch. Depending on the diagnosis, sometimes we also include craniosacral bodywork in every acupuncture treatment to help the energy in the meridians to flow. The treatment is surprisingly relaxing, and most people take this time to have a quick nap.

If your case warrants the need for internal medicine as well, we will also prescribe Chinese herbs, known as Chinese herbal therapy. Chinese herbs are more effective than traditional single herb supplements because they work in concert together to fully address your diagnosis–NOT your symptom. For example, two people with a headache may take completely different herbal formulas due to what is the underlying CAUSE of the headache.

Acupuncture Can Treat:

Headache, Migraines, TMJD (jaw pain)

Digestive disorders: diarrhea, constipation, IBS, IBD, Crohns, Colitis, Stomach pain, Nausea, etc.

Bells palsy, trigeminal neuralgia, facial ticks, numbness & tingling anywhere in the body

Weight loss; Weight gain; metabolism; eating disorders

Anxiety, depression, panic attacks, irritability, “just not feeling like myself”

Insomnia, nightmares

Pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, PMS

Cold & Flu symptoms; Immunity support

So much more!!

This clinic is incredible. The care provided by the acupuncture specialist was by far the greatest I have ever encountered. I was able to schedule an appointment online. I went in with a pain level of 10 in my shoulder and left with a pain level of 5. I really suggest it.

This acupuncture clinic saved my life. I had Cervical issues that caused a lot of pain, on top of mental anxiety that caused a lot of muscular ache. After a few acupuncture treatments left me feeling emotionally and physically relaxed. I strongly advise anyone with a condition to get the finest care possible.

This oakville acupuncture clinic stands out for their outstanding patient and health care services. Every time I visit, I feel as if I am their only patient; they treat me with genuine affection and take the time necessary to thoroughly examine my symptoms in order to provide the most accurate diagnosis. I came in with shoulder pain that had become incapacitating and that no other practitioners had been able to relieve (I had seen a few). I highly recommend this Center, which is staffed by knowledgeable practitioners. Everything is very intuitive.

Acupuncture has been a part of my life for years, but due to the pandemic, I haven't received them on regular basis. This acupuncture clinic was recommended by my previous acupuncturist, who moved. It was definitely the right choice for me. Using acupuncture to treat chronic headaches has proven to be the best long-term solution for me. The treatment I received was painless even though some areas can be a bit uncomfortable (especially those that need the most attention). Following my two first acupuncture visits, I look forward to returning for follow-up visits (a few visits usually keep things in order and keep my headaches and pains at bay). Overall, my experience at Oakville Acupuncture Clinic has been very positive.
