A Holistic Approach to Wellness
At ActiveCare Physiotherapy & Rehab, we believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. Our Acupuncture services offer a time-honored holistic therapy that aligns perfectly with our mission of promoting active care and preventive health. With a focus on restoring balance within the body, acupuncture is a powerful tool in our comprehensive approach to wellness.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves the insertion of very thin needles into specific points on the body. These points are believed to correspond to various physiological functions and can help to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. By enhancing the flow of energy, or “qi,” acupuncture aims to restore balance, reduce pain, and promote overall well-being.
