Acupuncture treatments are generally very relaxing. There is minimal discomfort and most times, none at all. The disposable needles, made of fine surgical steel, are only used once and then disposed.
If you decide to use acupuncture, choose the practitioner with care. Also check with your insurer to see if the services will be covered. |

Acupuncture
 What is Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been practiced in China for more than 4000 years. It's a complete medical system that has been used to diagnose, treat and prevent disease for many centuries. It can remedy ailments and alter states of mind. Additionally, it can enhance the immune system, capacity for pleasure, work and creativity.
The Philosophy behind TCM
It includes acupuncture, acupressure, Chinese massage, cupping therapy, herbal treatment, diet and exercise.
What Acupuncture Can Treat
How is diagnosis made?
Diagnosis in TCM is based on the information obtained from the patient communication, observation, pulse checking and tongue examination.
How Many Treatments are Required?
The number of treatments is individually tailored to for each patient. Usually, acute conditions require less visits than chronic ailments. The frequency of treatments depends on the nature and severity of the condition, as well as the amount of time the condition has been present. The amount of treatments also depends on the patient.
Generally, as the symptoms improve, fewer visits are required.
Payment Options
Acupuncture fees may be covered by ICBC, WCB and Extended Health Medical Plans. Patients are encouraged to contact their employer or insurance agent to determine if they are eligible for coverage.
