Acupuncture

Synergy Rehab & Physiotherapy Centre has been providing Medical Acupuncture Services for over ten years strong in the communities of Woodbridge, Maple, King City, Kleinburg and all of Vaughan.

Acupuncture is one facet of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that has been utilized for thousands of years for its effectiveness in treating a variety of illnesses and conditions.

Research into the effects of acupuncture have shown that acupuncture treatments encourage the central nervous system to release chemicals throughout the body in order to alleviate pain and encourage tense muscles to relax and can be used to decrease or increase nerve conduction.

This practice has been used in mainstream medicine for many years due to the effectiveness of treating many neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. Acupuncture can be used to treat a wide range of ailments from nausea and headaches, muscle aches and pains, neurological complaints and joint pathologies.

How Acupuncture Can Help You

From a TCM perspective, acupuncture helps to moderate your body’s internal energy, or Qi (pronounced “chee”), maintaining equilibrium and balance. Our specialists use their knowledge and precise skill to affect the neurological, hormonal and cellular systems of the body to reduce pain, promote tissue healing and thus advancing your recovery.

Remember to plan your activities before and after your acupuncture treatments in order to enhance the benefits – especially for the first few visits.

Do not over-eat or over-exercise before or after your sessions to ensure that your body can remain in a restful state to maximize the outcome of your treatment. In addition, pay attention and keep notes of how your body reacts to your treatment as it is extremely important to relay such details to your acupuncture provider to work together and devise your optimal treatment plan.
