Acupuncture

Acupuncture is conducted based on the philosophy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which has been practiced for thousands of years to refine its theory, efficacy, and treatment approach for wide variety of conditions. Acupuncture is done by inserting a hair thin sterile single use needle into a particular point of the body to help regulate its function including cardiovascular, endocrine, and nervous systems.

Acupuncture is known for its non-pharmaceutical approach and works in the way to maximize one's health and wellness potentials by addressing the root(s) of the bothering symptoms and other manifesting symptoms in the way that one can handle.

In modern era, Acupuncture is used as a stand-alone medicine, or used as a catalyst to other modalities that are already in place to optimize its efficacy and outcomes.

In Ontario, Registered Acupuncture is offered by Registered Acupuncturists who have completed a minimum 2200hr of Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture specific training, completed licensing examinations, and registered with the regulatory College, in contrast to other professions' acupuncture offered within their scope of practice, which can be as short as 300 to 600 hrs in total.
