This is how the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada defines acupuncture: “Acupuncture stimulates the balance and flow of Qi energy that in Traditional Chinese Medicine is considered essential to health. When the body is healthy, Qi (pronounced chee) flows smoothly through the meridians that make up a conceptual network of pathways throughout the entire body. When the balance or flow of Qi is deficient or obstructed it may be diseased or susceptible to illness. Acupuncture treats both the symptoms and the root causes of the patient’s illness.”

What you really need to know is that acupuncture has the potential to be amazing for you! Even if you’re afraid of needles, you’ll probably like it. It’s extremely safe and usually involves no pain. Here at PhysioSense our physiotherapist, Adam Campisano, has been performing acupuncture for 14 years and has gotten fantastic results using it to treat a vast array of injuries and symptoms.  Some of his favourite things to treat with it are: arthritic hands, knees, and feet; whiplash; tension headaches; migraine headaches; Achilles tendonitis. Our chiropractor, Dr. Daniel Liu, also provides acupuncture services.  Keep an open mind to what acupuncture can do for you!
