Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese form of medicine and philosophy. Acupuncture can be used as a treatment for infertility, pain relief, general enhancement of health, facial toning, and many other ailments. Acupuncture is unique in its ability to not only help with pain management, but increase the speed of healing many illnesses.

North American hospitals have discovered the power of acupuncture. Many hospitals, including Mount Sinai in Toronto, have a pain clinic that use acupuncture. However, acupuncture can treat so much more than just pain.

The insertion of hair-fine needles just below the surface of the skin stimulates specific points along energy channels in the body in order to achieve balance. Acupuncture has been scientifically proven to release pain-reducing endorphins; affect pain perception and mood; and improve circulation and immune function.

allergy treatment
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine effectively treat the root cause of allergies. Both seasonal allergies (hay fever) and hyper-sensitivities (like food allergies) are effectively treated using acupuncture. Once treated, allergies often never return. If they do, they are usually much milder, and respond well to treatment.

headaches and migraines
Acupuncture is an highly effective treatment for headaches and migraines. Even if you have suffered from migraines for many years, acupuncture can provide some if not complete relief, naturally. Usually sufferers of headaches and migraines get some immediate relief during the first treatment. However, a schedule of treatments is necessary to ensure they do not return. Our Chinese practitioners can make food and lifestyle recommendations that will also help with headaches and migraines.

aches and pains
Often stress related, but not always. An acupuncture treatment can relieve back and neck pain, lower back pain, sciatica, and general aches and pains. Try acupuncture in combination with shiatsu for a de-stressing, effective aches and pains treatment. For more information, see our pains and strains clinic.
