Acupuncture at Haney Physiotherapy in Maple Ridge

Ancient China brings to the Western world the wonders of Acupuncture. Over the past few decades, Acupuncture has been incorporated into physiotherapy treatment options. Your physiotherapist at Haney Physiotherapy in Maple Ridge may recommend Acupuncture as a supplemental therapy to promote rapid healing and full recovery.

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture helps manage pain and soft tissue injuries by enhancing your body’s natural healing response. Pain reduces as your physiotherapist stimulates your body to release natural pain-relieving chemicals. These endorphins, melatonin, and serotonin assist you in healing, usually supporting other physiotherapy modalities.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture treatments restore your normal energy balance with very fine needles your physiotherapist inserts through the skin and tissues. The needles target points along “meridians” to reduce your pain. With less pain, your body more easily restores balance to promote rapid and complete healing. 

Is Acupuncture Painful?

No. Most patients notice sensations, but they should not be painful. Acupuncture needles are super thin and flexible, so many people don’t feel them at all. Some people feel only a sensation when inserted. Our registered physiotherapists are professionally trained to provide painless acupuncture treatments.

Benefits of Acupuncture at Haney Physiotherapy in Maple Ridge

Acupuncture is commonly integrated into a complete physiotherapy recovery plan. Your physiotherapist may recommend Acupuncture:

  • For Stress Reduction – Many patients find acupuncture treatments lower stress hormones, reduce anxiety, moderate mood, and improve feelings of well-being.
  • To Reduce Pain – Acupuncture provides drug-free relief from back pain, joint pain, and neck tension, reduces swelling, and inflammation. 
  • For Headaches – Many patients at Haney Physiotherapy in Maple Ridge are happy with Acupuncture’s effects on headaches and migraines.

  • For Greater Mental Clarity, Energy, and Better Sleep – Acupuncture helps balance your system for more acuity, energy, and sleep.
  • To Treat Repetitive Strains – Acupuncture supports the healing of repetitive stress injuries, potentially eliminating the need for drugs or surgery.

Acupuncture’s most common side effect is relaxation and a sense of euphoria!
