Acupuncture
Ancient Roots In A Modern Approach
An integral part of our natural approach to treating pain and injuries, acupuncture is a safe and time-tested method to manage symptoms.
What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a medical system developed centuries ago that still holds its value in today's medicine. It involves gentle pricking of the skin or tissues with needles. It is used to alleviate pain and to treat various physical, mental, and emotional conditions.
How Acupuncture Works
Acupuncture gives the body a chance to rid itself of the root causes of the injury or disorder. The specialists in our Vaughan clinic will help you alleviate pain using this ancient and effective method.
Acupuncture Benefits
While possessing a great deal of pain-relieving properties, acupuncture can actually be helpful with many other conditions, if properly used.
At our rehabilitation center in Vaughan, acupuncture is used by our highly skilled specialists either as part of a broad treatment plan that includes other options like chiropractic, physiotherapy and aquatic therapy or on its own to make the lives of our patients better.

Like all treatments, the length of acupuncture treatment depends on the condition and the prescribed treatment plan. Usually, you will be visiting our rehabilitation center in Vaughan for 1 to 2 months, once or twice weekly.
