Discover the Balance of Acupuncture

Harness ancient wisdom for modern wellness.

Acupuncture is an age-old practice that involves the gentle insertion of thin needles into specific points on your body. It’s designed to restore balance and improve overall well-being. Many find relief from pain, stress, and anxiety through this natural approach. Acupuncture can enhance circulation, boost energy levels, and support your body’s inherent healing abilities. Whether you’re looking for relaxation or addressing specific health concerns, acupuncture offers a gentle path to feeling your best.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture at Common Ground Health & Wellness is performed by our Registered Physiotherapists. Acupuncture is a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance. In contrast, many Western practitioners view the acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. Some believe that this stimulation boosts your body’s natural painkillers. Each practitioner who performs acupuncture has a unique style, often blending aspects of Eastern and Western approaches to medicine. Acupuncture at Whole Therapy is performed by our Registered Physiotherapists.
