Acupuncture In Kelowna

Offering Acupuncture, Cupping, and Traditional Chinese Medicine in Kelowna, BC

Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that involves insertion of hair-thin, sterile needles into the skin at specified acupoints. These points directly stimulate the central nervous system and, as a result, feel-good chemicals like oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin are released into the body.

These changes can promote physical and mental well-being by stimulating the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Acupuncture treatment aims to re-establish the flow of positive energy, or Chi, within the body, while removing negative energy that may be blocking your path to wellness.

Headaches & Migraines

Acupuncture for Headaches & Migraines

Acupuncture can be an excellent treatment alternative for people who don’t respond well to medicines designed to treat migraines or other types of headaches. Although the pain experienced is in the head, acupuncture needles may be placed in the back, legs, arms, or face, depending largely on the practitioner’s expertise and their style of treatment.

Patients are recommended to attend at least six appointments usually once per week, and each treatment takes around an hour. Acupuncture is entirely safe and well-tolerated without harmful side effects, and may help reduce the frequency, duration, and severity of migraine headaches.

Digestive Problems

Acupuncture for Digestive Problems

Chronic stress, poor diet, poor sleep patterns, and other lifestyle factors are frequently the fundamental causes of many digestive problems. Acupuncture can help relieve stress and improve sleep by regulating the gut-brain axis and neurological system, which in turn improves the body’s digestive function. Acupuncture enhances microcirculation and reduces local inflammation when needles are inserted into areas on the abdomen. Other acupoints can also be used to reduce bloating, gas, acid reflux, and other digestive issues.

Pain & Injuries

Acupuncture for Injuries & Chronic Pain

Chronic arthritis and musculoskeletal pain is often highly treatable with acupuncture, without the dangerous side effects of addictive pain medications. Acupuncture helps to reduce pain by producing endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.

The Journal of Pain recently released an update to the 2012 data meta-analysis of acupuncture’s efficacy for chronic pain, stating that “acupuncture is effective for the treatment of chronic pain, that the effects of acupuncture persist over time, and that the benefits of acupuncture cannot be explained solely by the placebo effect.”

Women’s Health

Acupuncture for Women's Health

With menstruation, pregnancy, and eventually menopause, a woman’s body undergoes numerous changes. Women at any stage of their life journey can benefit from acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine to restore their hormonal balance.

Acupuncture assists the endocrine system by regulating menstruation and promoting healthy hormone function. It also helps women attempting to conceive by increasing blood flow to reproductive organs for improved nourishment, balancing FSH levels, normalizing progesterone and estrogen levels, increasing the size of follicles, and strengthening the uterine lining.
