Acupuncture in Morisset

Acupuncture needles in leg Available at our Morisset practice.

In use for thousands of years, acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points of the body. The process triggers a small inflammatory response around the needle, which promotes increased blood flow to the targeted area. The improved circulation nourishes muscles and tissues, helping them repair and function better.

Who Can Benefit?

Acupuncture may be a helpful add-on for some people who would like additional support as part of their overall plan. It’s commonly considered by people experiencing muscle tension, stiffness, or general discomfort, especially when they’re looking for extra help to unwind tight areas.

If you are attending our Morisset clinic and you’re noticing persistent areas of tension or stiffness, acupuncture may be one option Dr Tam may discuss with you as part of your broader plan.

What to Expect

In a typical session, needles are left in place for 15 to 20 minutes. The technique can also involve an acupuncture pen, which helps stimulate and contract muscles via the needle. This added stimulation further relaxes tight muscles and enhances the therapeutic effects of the needles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does acupuncture hurt?

This is one of the most common questions people ask. The short answer is no. You might feel a brief sensation when the needle first enters the skin, but this only lasts a split second. After the needle is in place, you shouldn’t feel any pain.

Will this therapy work for me?

Every person responds differently to acupuncture, so there’s no guarantee it will work for everyone. However, many people do find relief from pain and tension through this healing practice, especially when other therapies haven’t been successful. The best way to find out? Give it a try!

Is there anyone who shouldn’t get it?

Acupuncture is generally not recommended for pregnant women or those with a fear of needles. Additionally, patients who cannot remain still during the session may not be ideal candidates.
