Acupuncture and TCM Treatment Modalities

Rediscover Your Body's Ability to Heal

Acupuncture from a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner is all encompassing. We treat and acknowledge the whole system and use gentle techniques to help restore its balance. There is an element of care and an element of education to help patients live a healthier life and prevent illness from reoccurring. We take time to address the concern that you have come in with and assess the imbalance through a thorough diagnosis. From here we build a treatment plan that is specific to you. In the clinic we typically use needling techniques, cupping, moxibustion and massage​ while supplementing your treatment with dietary and fitness advice as well as emotional and self-awareness. 

Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques have stood the test of 5,000 years. Your symptoms are signs that we use to treat the whole system. Nothing functions in isolation. These techniques are used to help restore your balance and prevent further health challenges. It's about taking control of your health and igniting that inner fire of vitality. 

TCM provides a path to living a long life and though the concepts may feel unfamiliar and strange the foundations of this medicine rooted in ancient Taoist traditions seek to balance and strengthen the body at its deepest centre. We strive to find balance between yin and yang while promoting the free and unhindered flow of Qi through the channels of the body. 

Our bodies are constantly working to repair themselves and many things can cause us internal imbalance. These things might include our diets, the weather, poor sleep, overworking, over-indulgence, emotional disturbances, injury or weak DNA. Acupuncture techniques seek homeostasis and a return back to your vital self.
