Medical Acupuncture in Toronto

Contemporary Medical Acupuncture

Medical acupuncture uses fine, sterile needles to stimulate specific tissues and areas of the body.

At Forest Hill Chiropractic and Massage Clinic, medical acupuncture can be incorporated into a broader treatment plan to address muscle tension, pain and other musculoskeletal concerns.

What Can Medical Acupuncture Be Used For?

It may be incorporated into treatment for:

• Muscle tension
• Neck and shoulder pain
• Back pain
• Sports and overuse injuries
• Muscle and joint pain
• Certain chronic pain conditions
• Trigger points and muscular tightness

What Does a Treatment Involve?

Your practitioner will assess your condition and determine which areas may benefit from acupuncture.

Very fine needles are inserted into selected areas and may be combined with other hands-on techniques or rehabilitation exercises.

Most treatments are relatively quick, and your practitioner will explain what to expect before beginning.

A Personalized Approach

Medical acupuncture is one of several treatment options available at our clinic. We consider your symptoms, health history and goals when deciding whether it is appropriate for you.
