How acupuncture works
Care begins with understanding the root of the issue.
How does acupuncture work?
The clinic starts with an initial consultation to understand symptoms and look for underlying causes. Treatments focus on releasing blocks and restoring balance through acupuncture points and meridian lines.
How many treatments will I need?
Acupuncture is a process. Some concerns may respond quickly, while others may need a series of treatments depending on the body and condition being treated.
Do you use herbal medicine?
Chinese herbal medicines may be used alongside acupuncture. The current site notes that the clinic uses high quality medicinal herbs from a North Vancouver company that complies with Health Canada's GMP standards.
How long does each treatment take?
Each treatment may take between 60 and 90 minutes.
