Acupuncture in Sudbury

Bringing Balance to Energy

Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese medicine that offers patients a variety of benefits. If there’s any imbalance in the energy that runs through your body through different channels and meridians, then it can cause problems in your health. Acupuncture helps to bring balance to that energy. As the needles used in acupuncture are very thin, it generally doesn’t hurt. You might feel a little prick if the area is very sensitive. Other times you may not feel the needle at all.

Decreases Pain, Improves Healing

Acupuncture has been practice for over 3,000 years in Asia.

In terms of Western medicine, it’s found that acupuncture stimulates your nervous system.

According to research, acupuncture increases the endorphins in your body (the natural painkillers) to decrease pain, especially in the head, neck, back and legs. Acupuncture also has an effect on cortisol in the body, so it helps to reduce inflammation.

Other benefits include improved circulation and healing. You may wonder if you’ll feel better right away. Everyone responds differently. Some people may notice a big difference right away with the first treatment. For others, relief may come more gradually.

What to Expect

Your visit to us for acupuncture would be similar to that of a chiropractic visit. We will review your health history, perform an exam (including computerized scanning) and then usually we will perform and acupuncture treatment that same day.

Acupuncture is used to help balance the whole body and may benefit anyone. Most people seek acupuncture for a particular symptom such as shoulder pain, headaches, knee pain, or excessive back pain; however, some people do utilize acupuncture for general health and wellness. You may even utilize acupuncture during any chiropractic visit to add another mode of care to help speed up the healing process.

Our Fees

Our chiropractic and acupuncture fees are the same price for either treatment. We also offer a combo fee for anyone who does both treatments on the same visit.
