What is Traditional Chinese Acupuncture?
Traditional Chinese Acupuncture is the process of inserting very fine, sterile needles into carefully selected points along the body to stimulate the flow of energy, increase blood flow, and remove blockages so that the Qi can be dispersed and regulated. By stimulating the body’s various systems, Traditional Chinese Acupuncture can help to resolve pain, improve sleep and digestive function as well as promote a general sense of well-being.

Your Path to Healing Begins Here
For your initial appointment, the registered acupuncturist will ask you for a general medical history and then will proceed with a TCM assessment and diagnosis. This typically includes observation, listening, questioning, pulse taking and palpation.
For the acupuncture treatment, very fine sterile needles will be placed on specific points on the body based on the assessment. The acupuncture needles are usually left in place for 15 to 30 minutes and then removed. Acute symptoms may require only two to four treatments, whereas it is common to have as many as 12 or more treatments for chronic cases.
