TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICAL ACUPUNCTURE

Originating in ancient China, Acupuncture has been an integral element of Traditional Chinese Medicine since its first written description in "The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine", dated approximately 100 BCE. Since then Acupuncture has spread to the rest of the world and has been adapted into Western Medicine, as well as Cosmetic treatments. TCM Acupuncture concentrates on balancing Qi (Vital Life Energy) as it travels the body's Meridian lines, and is a Holistic approach to treating a variety of conditions including: Allergies, Anxiety, Arthritis, Depression, Hormonal Imbalances, Insomnia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Migraines, Meniere's Disease, Tendonitis and more. This method can also be used to balance the body for general maintenance of your overall well-being.​ Our resident TCM Acupuncturist, Julian Jones, trained in China and started his own practice in 1998. Our RMT Ying Shan received a Certification of Fundamental Medical Acupuncture from McMaster University in 2020.

 CHIROPRACTIC ACUPUNCTURE

Chiropractic Acupuncture is provided by both of our Chiropractors, who are also trained in Acupuncture, to treat musculoskeletal pain and other conditions. Treatments combine Chiropractic Adjustments, which focus on Spinal Alignment and Joint Mobility, with Acupuncture, to stimulate nerves and muscles, reduce pain, and improve the body's healing response. Our Chiropractor Dr Zachary Bain trained in Contemporary Medical Acupuncture at McMaster University.
