Acupuncture & Holistic Therapy Services in Ottawa
Acupuncture is highly effective in supporting a wide range of conditions, from seasonal and environmental allergies to plantar fasciitis and other pain conditions, including sciatica and back pain. By improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and regulating the nervous system, acupuncture helps the body restore balance and function more efficiently.
ACUPUNCTURE
Used to promote health and treat sickness acupuncture is a time-tested therapy that works by balancing the body’s energies. This is done by inserting fine, virtually painless, single-use sterile needles into specific acupuncture points where they remain as the patient relaxes for up to 45 minutes. This drug-free therapy can be used in conjunction with conventional medicine. Emily, a registered acupuncturist with over 10 years of experience, is trained in classical acupuncture as well as Dr. Tan's Balance Method and the Master Tung acupuncture point system.
CUPPING THERAPY
Cupping is a form of therapy where glass cups are suctioned onto the body and left in place or glided around with oil, acting and feeling like a deep tissue massage. This therapy increases blood flow to the area, helps to pull out toxins from the body, breaks up adhesions, and relaxes the muscles. This makes it an effective therapy to treat muscle knots, tension, cellulite, colds, and digestive issues and to promote relaxation.
FACIAL REJUVENATION
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is not only a safe and effective way to firm delicate facial skin, but also has value beyond beauty. As a holistic whole-body treatment, this specialized acupuncture protocol balances out hormones and the internal system so patients may also experience better sleep, improved digestion, and regular bowel movements, all essential for a youthful appearance. It is also used for acne, rosacea, and Bell's Palsy.
Also known as cosmetic acupuncture, this minimally invasive needling technique works with the body's natural healing process by building collagen and elastin fibers, giving you more youthful-looking skin without surgery or injections.
What can be achieved? Fine lines may be eliminated, and wrinkles may be diminished. Bags under the eyes can be reduced, the nasal-labial groove reduced in depth and length, jowls firmed, puffiness eliminated, droopy eyelids lifted and double chins minimized.
ACUPRESSURE & TUI NA MASSAGE
Acupressure and Tui Na Massage work on acupuncture points and meridians to free energetic blockages and promote circulation. A great choice for those wary of needles. Pressure is applied with the hands, elbows, or with specially designed tools.
ELECTROACUPUNCTURE
Electroacupuncture (EA) is a potent form of acupuncture that passes a mild electric current through acupuncture needles to enhance therapeutic effects, combining traditional Chinese medicine with modern neurostimulation. Often more effective than manual acupuncture for pain management, it is used to treat chronic pain, neurological conditions, spasms, and gastrointestinal disorders.
