Acupuncture is a Chinese medicine which has been used for thousands of
years. It usually uses small needles to promote a good circulation of
the energy in the body, which circulates in what’s called the
meridians. Once this energy in the body circulates well, you feel
better and have less pains or symptoms related to your condition: for
example: bursitis, tendonitis, arthritis, lower back pain and more.
Our acupuncturists see patients with a lot of pain that cannot have
any treatments in physiotherapy, osteopathy, occupational therapy or
massotherapy, because their pain increases with palpation techniques.
Once their pain is reduced and that the therapist can actually do some
hands-on techniques, then they can start their treatment in
physiotherapy, osteopathy, occupational therapy or massotherapy.
