Acupuncture, an important part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is used to correct and restore the flow of bioelectrical energy (called Qi) in the body.

Qi (pronounced "chee") serves to nourish and instruct our cells, organs and tissues, and enables them to carry out their normal physiological functions. When this electrical energy, or Qi, becomes blocked, pain may result.

When Qi flows in an abnormal pathway or direction over a period of time, pain and illness result.

Acupuncture needles are fine, sterile needles which when inserted are usually painless, and are often not felt at all. Many people find acupuncture treatments very relaxing. Acupuncture has been shown scientifically to achieve analgesic, anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects.

Naturopathic medicine is a system of primary health care that is grounded both in modern scientific knowledge as well as traditional healing practices. Naturopathic philosophy is rooted in the belief that under the right conditions, the human body has the innate ability to heal itself. Beginning with the least invasive therapies such as lifestyle modifications, optimizing nutrition, and acupuncture, your naturopathic doctor will work with you to build a state of sustainable health. When necessary, stronger interventions such as herbal medicine, nutraceuticals, and naturopathic injection therapies may be used. Regardless of the specific treatment used, your treatment plan will aim to eliminate the root cause of your symptoms, rather than just the symptoms themselves.
In Canada, naturopathic doctors must graduate from accredited naturopathic medical programs, pass standardized North American board exams, and adhere to national and provincial standards of practice.
