Acupuncture Treatment

Acupuncture is a method of balancing the body's energy by inserting needles under the skin at specific points along the energy pathways (meridians), to prevent or cure diseases and/or disorders. Modern approaches recognize that needles inserted at acupuncture points induce biochemical changes in the body.

What we use acupuncture for?

A number of physiotherapists at The Sports Therapy Clinic utilize acupuncture in the treatment of various musculoskeletal disorders. We feel the use of acupuncture is a valuable tool in the repertoire of techniques and technology used at our facility.
