Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. Acupuncture helps to balance the flow of Qi in the body and can help to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue, while releasing your body’s natural pain killers.
Acupuncture is a safe, gentle way to support your body’s health and recover from pain. Acupuncture has been shown to benefit a variety of conditions. Dr. Danielle, our naturopathic doctor at Centre Health in Val Caron, performs acupuncture for her patients. You may be prescribed this as part of your naturopathic treatment plan or can chose to book in for acupuncture treatment alone. This will be billed as a naturopathic service for insurance purposes.
Acupuncture care can help with many concerns, but some common issues include:
You can expect to chat about your current symptoms and health history. You will then have an acupuncture session during the visit, if time permits.
You do not need a doctor’s note for acupuncture treatment with our naturopathic doctor.
Bring clothes that you can comfortably move in and that allow for flexibility for areas to be worked on. Many patients bring a change of shorts or tank top to change into for comfort. Do not wear clothes that have no stretch or are very tight fitting.
Many insurance plans cover naturopathic care at Centre Health in Val Caron. We offer direct billing to most insurance companies. Bring along your insurance card to your first visit and we can get this set up for you.
