Acupuncture Scarborough

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an ancient kind of medicine that is based on traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) theory, diagnosis and treatment. A fundamental pillar of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Acupuncture Therapy uses precisely placed needles along meridian pathways to produce therapeutic physiological responses in the body that can alleviate pain, promote healing, balance hormones, boost the immune system, regulate the nervous system, improve fertility, and provide overall emotional wellness. Acupuncture can be effective on its own or as a complementary treatment to conventional medicine.
