Acupuncture is one of the few modalities that fall under the system of Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM. Its use can be found in artifacts dating back to 1000 BC. It involves the use of small needles inserted at specific points on the body, to help regulate the flow of energy or “qi”.

Imbalance of qi in the body is at the root of all ailments and disease. By regulating the state of qi with the needles, we can help guide the body back into balance. Acupuncture can treat any conditions and is often a great compliment to other treatment programs as well.
Acupuncture may be used for a wide variety of health issues. According to the World Health Organization, acupuncture may be beneficial for, but not limited to, the following conditions:

  • Digestive – IBS, Constipation, Diarrhea, Indigestion
  • Emotional – Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia, Addictions
  • Gynecological – Infertility, Menopause, PMS
  • Musculoskeletal – Back pain, Arthritis, Cramping, Muscle Pain/Weakness, Sciatica
  • Neurological – Headaches, Migraines, Stroke Rehab
  • Systemic – Stress, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia
If we look at acupuncture through a scientific perspective, acupuncture works by modulating various biochemical and physiological pathways in the body, which can be supportive to the body’s innate healing mechanisms. From a traditional eastern perspective, acupuncture works by modulating the flow of qi or energy in the body. The needles are inserted at specific points on the body which lie along meridians (energy channels). The insertion of the needles can regulate the flow of energy not only at the specific point or channel but also in the organs themselves.
A non-invasive practice, it works to align all components of the body including the nervous, lymphatic, and circulatory systems to maximize health by using hands-on manual therapy.
Osteopaths can treat countless issues ranging from muscle tension, injuries due to work strain, sleep apnea, digestive issues, and even emotional and psychological symptoms.
Your osteopath will conduct a thorough assessment to learn about your concerns and previous medical history, then proceed to a detailed physical examination before discussing a proposed treatment plan with you.
