The better question might be “what can’t acupuncture treat?” 

Here’s a list of some common complaints we get:

  • Musculoskeletal pain (including sports injury).
  • Headaches and migraines. 
  • Sleep problems (not enough, too much, frequent waking, sleepwalking, nocturnal emissions, etc.).
  • Gynecological troubles (cramping, PMS, fertility, menopause, etc.).
  • Mental/emotional issues (depression, anxiety, postpartum, stress, etc.).
  • Post-surgical recovery. 
  • Cancer support.
  • Pharmaceutical drug alternative.
  • Hormonal regulation.
  • Tightness around scar tissue.

Acupuncture is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles, which views the body as a network of energy channels (“meridians”). Acupuncture aims to restore balance in the mind, body, and spirit by stimulating specific points along these channels.

On the other hand, dry needling stems from Western medical principles, it is commonly performed by physical therapists and chiropractors, and needles target specific points in single muscle groups such as trigger points directly related to the area of pain or dysfunction.

Acupuncture can also target points directly in the area of pain called “Ashi points,” which are believed to be local accumulations of “qi” related to the specific pain symptom, but the points which are not located near the pain area can be used based on the TCM principles.

Our acupuncture treatment sessions generally consist of two main parts:

  • A thorough consultation will be given in order to personalize a treatment plan for you. During the consultation, we’ll take the time to understand your unique needs and goals. We will also administer several physical tests in the case of musculoskeletal issues.
  • We review your medical history and discuss your symptoms in detail. Based on this assessment, we tailor your treatment to include a combination of acupuncture, e-stim, cupping, manual therapy, and therapeutic exercise.

The treatment schedule can vary depending on the condition being treated.

Typically, 2 to 3 treatment sessions per week are recommended to build momentum for the first few weeks. After that, a slower schedule with 1 or 2 appointments per week is followed.

At the maintenance stage, the frequency of visits can decrease significantly. For example, every other week or monthly visits might be sufficient.
