Acupuncture

Acupuncture is one of the most widely used sensory stimulation therapies, rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and now supported by modern scientific research. This ancient technique involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles at specific anatomic points (known as acupuncture or meridian points) to restore balance, promote healing, and relieve pain.

In TCM, acupuncture is used to regulate the flow of Qi (energy) through pathways in the body called meridians. In Western medicine, acupuncture is recognized as an effective way to manage pain, improve movement, and enhance overall physical performance. Treatments can help release tight muscles, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and restore healthy range of motion.

Conditions Acupuncture May Help With

  • Headaches and migraines
  • Neck and back pain
  • Muscle strains, spasms, or postural stress
  • Stress and tension syndromes
  • Chronic injuries and post-operative pain
  • Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
  • Golfer’s and tennis elbow
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Rotator cuff injuries and frozen shoulder
  • Bursitis and arthritis
  • Shin splints and knee pain
  • Nerve pain (numbness, tingling, sciatica)

Acupuncture can be highly effective on its own but is often even more beneficial when combined with chiropractic care or manual therapy, making it easier to exercise, recover, and stay active.

What to Expect

At OHG, acupuncture services are provided by chiropractors who are also licensed through the Acupuncture Council of Ontario (ACO). Our acupuncture providers are committed to providing safe, effective treatments to help you achieve your best health.

Your visit begins with a thorough health history and examination. Based on your needs, your chiropractor will develop a personalized treatment plan and carefully select acupuncture points. Very fine needles are inserted under the skin or into the muscles, where they remain for 15–30 minutes. In some cases, gentle electrical stimulation may be added to enhance the treatment.

During your session, you’ll be encouraged to relax, focus on your breathing, and allow your body to respond. Once complete, the needles are safely removed and disposed of. Most patients find acupuncture to be a calming, restorative experience.

Insurance Coverage: Some insurance plans may cover acupuncture services only when performed by a registered acupuncturist. If your plan does not allow for an acupuncture provider, you may still be able to claim your treatments under chiropractic services. We recommend checking with your insurance provider before booking to confirm coverage.

Request an appointment today and discover how acupuncture can support your pain relief, recovery, and overall wellbeing.
