Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a treatment that involves insertion of thin needles through the skin at strategic pressure points of the body, known as acu-points. It stimulates the balance and flow of Qi energy which is considered essential to health in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine and is becoming more and more popular in Mississauga and the GTA.

When a person is healthy, Qi (pronounced as chee), flows smoothly throughout different body parts. But when the balance of Qi is deficient, the person may be subjected to illness.
It is clinically proven that Acupuncture helps to relieve pain. It is an alternative to medication. Hence, it eliminates the need of drugs to control pain or reduce the symptoms caused by an illness or injury. It is also helpful in treating common cold, treating anxiety, insomnia, menstrual problems, weight control, digestive problems, infertility, and more.
Under treatment, the practitioners tap the Acupuncture points that trigger neurological responses in the patients. It results in reducing or blocking pain which is the ultimate goal.
