Our Registered Physiotherapists are qualified to practice acupuncture. Acupuncture is used to aid in the management of muscle and joint pain and injury of both acute and chronic conditions. Acupuncture involves the insertion of sterile, single use needles under the skin at specific points on the body. Modern theories of acupuncture recognize that acupuncture induces biochemical changes in the body, including the release of chemicals that reduce pain and inflammation. Acupuncture is a safe, effective way to complement and enhance conventional medical treatment.
