Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a treatment technique specific to Chinese medicine. Used for thousands of years, it involves the stimulation of specific points on the body using, among other things, fine needles.

In Quebec, acupuncture is regulated by the Ordre des Acupuncteurs du Québec.   All treatments are preceded by a thorough assessment of the patient’s state of health. All treatments are performed with single-use needles. A variety of problems can be treated with acupuncture; musculoskeletal injuries, digestive, gynecological, immune and/or emotional disorders are just some of the reasons why people consult an acupuncturist.

Acupuncture has a lot to offer athletes and active persons, whether they are competitive or weekend athletes. It is increasingly used by athletes at all levels to treat injuries sustained in training or competition, and many professional teams use the services of acupuncturists. Acupuncture can even be used to optimize performance.
