Is Acupuncture safe?

Yes.
Registered Acupuncturists in Alberta are required to use sterilized one-time use needles that are safely discarded into a biohazards container after use.

Acupuncture can be used in conjunction with herbs, medication, and other therapies or on it's own.

If you have any concerns about your personal health situation, it is advisable to speak with your doctor before receiving acupuncture to make sure that it is right for you:)

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that has been used for thousands of years and continues to be used successfully today all over the world.

Acupuncture works by stimulating the energy or Qi (pronounced "chee") in our body by inserting ultra-fine sterilized needles into certain points on the body.

When we are in optimal health, we have abundant Qi available to us and it flows to all parts of our body and mind in a smooth fashion.

When we do not have enough Qi or if it's flow is obstructed in some way, then we may be more susceptible to pain and/or illness.
