Did you know that the majority of people with osteoarthritis (OA) do not need a joint replacement? Most people with mild to moderate OA can control their symptoms with education, exercise, and weight control (if necessary) with the assistance of a physiotherapist. Some people may require analgesic medication (pain killers), a walking aid or other treatments provided by a physiotherapist (LASER, TENS, etc). If all other treatment has failed, surgery is an option. However, it is important to realise that after surgery all of the other treatments will have to be done anyway (exercise, pain killers, gait aids, etc) so why not try those treatments first?

Whether it has been chronic or is acute Whether it is due to injury or repetitive strain Whether it’s from too much work or too little movement Acupuncture can help... Every person’s pain and injury is different, but with Chinese Medicine we look at the whole picture of health and address the root cause of illness. This is not always a one appointment solution but Acupuncture has given many clients relief from their back pain. Degenerative disc disease, Scoliosis, one sided back pain, tail bone pain, pain across the hips, or referring down the legs. Acupuncture could offer you the relief you have been seeking for. Often healing can be like putting together a puzzle, you can benefit or see the whole picture when you utilize more than one piece of the puzzle. Come see if Acupuncture could be one beneficial piece on your path to healing. Get pain relief, reduce inflammation, calm the nerves and nervous system, increase range of motion, release muscle tension, and enjoy it all while relaxing in a state of bliss on the acupuncture table.

Pain in the neck and shoulders can limit us in so many ways! With Acupuncture we can decrease tension, pain and inflammation. In Chinese Medicine the theory behind pain is that our Qi, or vital energy, is stuck in the channels. Much like a traffic jam on a highway the qi is stuck and creates pain in the area of injury, or the drivers get frustrated! It can also cause deficiency of Qi along the rest of the affected meridian or channel. When we are in pain we restrict our mov...ement, and our nervous system gets heightened. Stress can be high, sleep can be disrupted, and we may also get other pains or weakness. Through the use of Acupuncture, Tui Na (Chinese Massage techniques) and cupping we can increase circulation, move qi in the channel, and alleviate pain. Essentially getting traffic moving, and calming all the drivers down. Health and balance are considered the free flow of qi within the body. If your body is out of balance in one area, others may soon be compromised as well. Address pain and bring your qi flow back to balance, allowing you to heal with the support of Acupuncture. Our in house Acupuncturist is available to see you and looking forward to getting you back to a life you love. Pain free and balanced in health.

What does quality of life really mean to you? For those suffering with chronic pain daily spend most of the day restricting themselves from doing the simple things they once took for granted. From being able to dress themselves, sit or walk, get a good quality sleep, or have a positive friendly mood, all aspects of a life can be negatively impacted by chronic pain. ... Because Chinese Medicine works to regulate the whole body and to bring balance to it it has the benefit of reducing pain. Acupuncture has been highly regarded as a tool to support the bodies ability to heal, reduce pain, improve circulation, decrease inflammation, and give back quality of life to our clients. Several of our clients have even been known to dance out the door thanks to being rid of their pain. It is not a wonder solution or a one time fix. It does require a commitment to healing and a willingness to explore the unknown to you. But with curated treatment plan that our acupuncturist will create specific to your needs you can get some effective and lasting results. What could a better quality of life look like if you had less pain today? Are you ready to take the next step and give acupuncture an honest try?
