Acupuncture is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Very fine needles are inserted into particular points on the body called acupuncture points. Acupuncture has been shown scientifically to have analgesic, anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects with very few side effects.
Many physiotherapists in Canada now successfully use acupuncture treatment as an adjunct to standard physiotherapy techniques in the management of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular dysfunction.
