Acupuncture

North Whitby Physiotherapy is proud to provide our clients with acupuncture treatment to alleviate physical and mental pain and stress. Acupuncture is a time-tested, holistic method that relies on a philosophy of synergy and peace. At North Whitby Physiotherapy, we put this philosophy into practice for each and every one of our clients' acupuncture treatments.

How Exactly Does Our Acupuncture Work?

Our acupuncture treatments start with a focus on improving our patients’ physical and mental functions. The North Whitby Physiotherapy team strategically identifies our clients' unique acupuncture points on their bodies to accurately locate and improve sites of anatomic sensitivity and discomfort.

We use sterilized and incredibly fine needles for the safest possible insertion and maximum anatomic stimulation for our patients. That's because the health care professionals at North Whitby Physiotherapy are committed to providing you with a painless, comfortable, and ultimately relaxing acupuncture experience. At our clinic, our patients’ enjoyable and comfortable experiences are our number one priority.

Our team is experienced in enhancing the acupuncture therapy experience for our patients by focusing on balancing the body's energy, as well as aligning its physiological systems and natural responses to holistic acupuncture healing. We acknowledge and promote acupuncture's

empirically backed efficiency in responding to the body's cardiovascular, immune, and nervous systems.

Is Acupuncture Right For Me?

Acupuncture is incredibly effective at stimulating and responding to your body to treat a wide range of ailments. But how can you be sure if it’s the right treatment for your physical therapy needs?

Before you decide to begin acupuncture treatment with our team, the health experts at North Whitby Physiotherapy will sit down with you to get a full understanding of your medical background, conduct a thorough physical examination, and finally propose potential treatment plans based on our evaluation. Most of the time, acupuncture is an effective alternative to other forms of physical therapy that are unable to stimulate the body the same way.

Acupuncture treatment may be right for you if:

You struggle with arthritic and orthopaedic pain and discomfort

Acupuncture is capable of treating and improving chronic pain in your joints and muscles, and can gradually ease debilitating nerve pain.
You're looking for alternative treatment for cardiovascular issues

Cardiovascular issues such as heart disease and high blood pressure are unfortunately common symptoms of modern habits and lifestyles. Luckily, acupuncture is an excellent way to relieve unnecessary stress on your heart and blood vessels.
You need help with weight loss and physical activity

Another big culprit behind poor health and chronic musculoskeletal pain is obesity. Obesity also places undue stress on your heart and can greatly reduce your quality of life. Acupuncture combats obesity and problems with weight gain.
You suffer from chronic asthma or other related respiratory issues

Asthma and issues with the respiratory system can make it difficult for some of our patients to lead comfortable lives and enjoy daily activities. Acupuncture targets points deep within the respiratory tract to effectively combat and alleviate symptoms related to asthma, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, walking pneumonia, and seasonal and chronic allergies.
You struggle with digestive issues and keeping food down

Acupuncture can work to calm the body's digestive system and reduce symptoms from nausea, acid reflux, and IBS.
