Acupuncture in Hamilton
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese therapy involving the insertion of needles at specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow and promote healing. There are several approaches to acupuncture treatment we offer, including Traditional Chinese Acupuncture and Western Medical Acupuncture.
At Healthy Body, our Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, and some of our Massage Therapists offer acupuncture treatments for a variety of conditions.
Traditional Chinese Acupuncture
In the traditional Chinese method, ailments are assessed within the framework of Chinese Medicine and “Qi” energy flow. Acupuncture points along meridians will then be chosen that will best help treat your presenting symptoms and underlying condition.
Some of the benefits of the traditional Chinese approach include:
- Hormonal regulation
- Immune system modulation
- Pain Reduction
Western Medical Acupuncture
Western medicine takes a different approach to diagnosis and treatment. This technique targets the anatomical structures that are the root cause of pain in the body. We may also use electrical stimulation through the acupuncture points.
Some of the benefits of this type of approach to needling include:
- Pain reduction
- Decreased muscle tension
- Accelerated healing from injuries
