Find Relief: Conditions We Successfully Treat with Acupuncture

Recent research into acupuncture is discovering this ancient homeopathic method can be used to treat a wide range of injuries and conditions, including:

Acupuncture relieves back and neck pain by targeting pressure points that release muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote natural healing. We may recommend acupuncture for chronic lower back or neck pain to ease discomfort without relying on medications.

We often provide acupuncture for managing headaches and migraines as a safe, drug-free solution. The process stimulates energy flow and reduces muscle tightness, reducing both the frequency and intensity of headache episodes. 

Acupuncturists can use this treatment to reduce inflammation and support joint mobility. Patients experience better flexibility and function after regular acupuncture treatments for shoulder pain, knee pain and other joint-related conditions.

From post-workout soreness to chronic muscle tension, acupuncture works to release tightness and promote faster recovery. It’s also effective for managing muscle strain, allowing you to return to your daily activities or fitness routine with less discomfort.

Besides these, we also treat:

What to Expect During Your Visits?

Expect a comprehensive approach that integrates traditional acupuncture techniques and modern physiotherapy practices at Physiotherapy First. Your visit will typically involve the following: 

  • The Initial Consultation: Thorough Assessment

Our acupuncturist asks about your medical history, including existing conditions, medications you are taking and previous treatments. They also inquire about the specific issues you are seeking treatment for, including the location, intensity, and nature of your pain or discomfort. 

  • Physical Examination: Prior to the Treatment

We evaluate your posture, range of motion, muscle strength, and nerve function to understand the root cause of your problem from a musculoskeletal perspective. 

  • Customizable Sessions: Guided by an Acupuncturist

You will be asked to lie down on a treatment table in a comfortable position that allows access to the required acupuncture points. Ultra-fine, sterile needles are gently placed at the precise points on the body.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

There is a connection between the nerves in the body and the various acupuncture pressure points. Each acupuncture point tends to have a slightly lower electrical charge than nerve endings. By inserting needles into these points, the electrical charge helps reduce the sensitivity of the nerve endings, therefore, alleviating pain and discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions of Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient homeopathic form of treatment that is used to help alleviate stress, pain, and discomfort. It is based on ancient Chinese techniques that helped realign the systems in the body to function harmoniously.

Acupuncture treatments involve inserting small, thin needles into specific pressure points in the affected area on the body. The needles are used to help stimulate circulation to the area to promote healing and better well-being.

Acupuncture treatments at Physiotherapy First are performed by a trained and certified Physiotherapist. The patient typically lays down on their back or stomach, depending on the area being treated.

During the treatment, small needles are inserted into various pressure points in the affected area. The purpose of the needles is to help decrease sensitivity in nearby nerves to alleviate pain. Treatments also help release tension to help you feel more relaxed.

The exact number of sessions you need depends on your specific condition, its severity and your personal response to the treatment. For acute cases, patients may see improvement in a few sessions. Chronic conditions, on the other hand, may take longer to heal. 

Acupuncture treatments may be covered by health benefits plans, WSIB, and auto insurance when combined as part of an overall treatment plan that includes physiotherapy, massage therapy and other forms of treatments.

We look forward to speaking with you, answering any questions you may have about acupuncture, and discussing your health benefits plan coverage while helping to reduce your pain, stress, or discomfort to feel better faster.

Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese Medicine practice that balances “Qi” (energy) flow along meridians in the body to treat various conditions. Needles are placed on specific points throughout the body.

Dry needling is a modern Western technique where a practitioner, like a physiotherapist, inserts needles directly into muscular trigger points (knots). It relieves musculoskeletal pain and improves function.

Though the risks are low, it is better to talk to your healthcare provider first. Acupuncture may not be a feasible treatment option for people with a pacemaker, who have a bleeding disorder or are pregnant. We have licensed acupuncturists with years of experience in this field to help you make wise decisions for better health and well-being.

Acupuncture treatments are extremely safe and effective when administered by a trained and certified Physiotherapist at Physiotherapy First. We use sterile needles for each treatment. At the end of the treatment, the needles are safely discarded and never used again.

Most people do not experience any adverse or serious side effects from acupuncture treatments. Some patients may experience slight bleeding at the insertion point of the needle that lasts a few seconds. Other people may experience slight bruising several hours or the next day after treatment.

If you are pregnant or a hemophiliac, acupuncture treatments require extra precautions. Your Physiotherapist will discuss these with you to determine whether acupuncture is right for you.

Yes, acupuncture can be used by itself, or as part of a physiotherapy treatment plan depending on your specific needs and objectives. For example, acupuncture can be used with other treatments such as massage therapy and physiotherapy for a complete care plan.

Even though needles are used for acupuncture, they are very tiny. Most patients do not experience any pain. Some patients report experiencing only slight discomfort as the needle is inserted. This discomfort can be slight tingling, warmth, pressure, or very dull and mild ache.

Many patients report that after the needles are inserted, they feel a sense of calm and relaxation. Some patients even fall soundly asleep during their treatments.

How long it takes acupuncture to start working varies from patient to patient. Some of our patients report immediate relief of their pain and discomfort after their first treatment. Other patients report feeling very relaxed afterward.

Typically, most people will see some improvement and changes after about four to eight treatment sessions. In exceedingly rare cases, a few patients may require additional intervention. Each patient is treated on an individual case basis.
