Apart from chiropractors and massage therapists, Wellbeing also has a team of certified and experienced acupuncturists and practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Our practitioners have many years of clinical experience in helping patients better manage pain and stress, and promote overall wellbeing.
Acupuncture is a very ancient healing practice, rooted in ancient China. It seeks to balance the flow of Qi, or the vital energy through the pathways in the body, via stimulating select acupuncture points with needles. Doing this triggers the release of certain beneficial chemicals that affect the central nervous system, and contribute to the body’s innate ability to heal. Alongside using needles, our practitioners might sometimes also use other techniques such as acupressure, moxibustion, cupping and passing electromagnetic energy, if needed, to accelerate the patient’s healing journey.
Studies done by the National Institute of Health (NIH) have shown that acupuncture has had beneficial results to manage chronic pain, degenerative arthritis, headaches, back pain, elbow tendinopathy, hand and wrist pain, menstrual pain as well as asthma-related muscle tension. At Wellbeing, we maintain the highest levels of quality standards to ensure patient safety.
