Medical Acupuncture

Medical Acupuncture complements modern western medicine by using a combination of anatomical and classical acupuncture points to successfully treat musculoskeletal conditions. Needles are inserted into areas that are related to muscles, tendon and nerves. Research supports the use of acupuncture to relieve pain through the release of endorphins and to relieve muscle trigger points. At High Performance Sports Medicine many of our practitioners utilize acupuncture to treat various conditions and injuries. Speak with your practitioner to determine if acupuncture can benefit you.

Acupuncture is included as part of the cost of Physiotherapy or Chiropractic Care.
