Health and Wellness Center in Mississauga

Yes, our clinic offers a variety of acupuncture techniques to meet the needs of our patients. To determine the type of acupuncture treatment that will be most beneficial to you, our practitioner may ask you about your symptoms, behaviors, and lifestyle. He or she may also closely examine:

– The parts of your body that are painful

– The color of your face

– The quality, strength, and rhythm, of the pulse in your wrist

We offer the most common acupuncture techniques including:

Traditional Acupuncture: This technique involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body along meridian lines. The aim is to stimulate the flow of qi (energy) and restore balance within the body. Japanese acupuncture is similar to traditional Chinese acupuncture, only it uses thicker needles. 

Auricular Acupuncture: This technique focuses on the ear. Tiny needles, magnets, or seeds are applied to specific points on the ear that correspond to different parts of the body. 

Cupping: Cupping involves placing glass or plastic cups on the skin to create suction. This helps to improve blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, and promote healing. Cupping can be stationary (cups left in one place) or sliding (cups moved along the skin).

Electro-acupuncture uses a low-voltage electrical current to stimulate the acupuncture points. This technique is often used for conditions such as migraines, PMS, and chronic pain. 

No matter which techniques are used, our acupuncture in Mississauga is a safe and effective way to promote healing and maintain wellness. Our goal is to provide our patients with the best possible acupuncture benefits and we tailor our treatments to each individual’s needs.
