Acupuncture

Upper Ottawa Physiotherapy - Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning. This is done by inserting needles and applying heat or electrical stimulation at very precise acupuncture points.

It is a system which can influence three areas of health care:

Promotion of health and well-being
Prevention of illness
Treatment of various medical conditions.

While acupuncture is often associated with pain control, in the hands of a well-trained practitioner it has much broader applications. Acupuncture can be effective as the only treatment used, or as the support or adjunct to other medical treatment forms in many medical and surgical disorders.

Acupuncture can be used to treat muscular and neurological disorders including but not limited to: headaches, neck pain, rib neuritis, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, various types of tendonitis, pain, arthritis, low back problems

At Pilates Fit, our Physiotherapists Certified in Anatomical Acupuncture treat many of the conditions listed above as well as many more. For more information, please get in touch!
