Natural Healing Support Through Personalized Acupuncture Care

ABOUT acupuncture

Pain, muscle tension, stress, and changes in your health can affect how you move, sleep, recover, and feel throughout your day. Acupuncture treatment uses fine, sterile, single-use needles placed at specific points on the body to support pain management, relaxation, and overall well-being.

Your care, thoughtfully considered

The Peloraa Way

What happens at the first acupuncture appointment?

Your practitioner reviews your health history, symptoms, medications, and goals before recommending treatment. They explain the procedure, potential effects, precautions, and alternatives before obtaining consent.

How many acupuncture sessions will I need?

The number and frequency of sessions depend on the concern, symptom duration, response to care, and goals. Your practitioner will recommend a plan after the assessment and review progress regularly.

Can acupuncture be combined with physiotherapy?

Yes. Acupuncture may be used alongside physiotherapy when it fits the treatment plan, while exercise, education, and movement rehabilitation address function and longer-term goals.

Acupuncture FAQs

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture uses fine, sterile, single-use needles placed at selected points on the body. It may be used as part of a personalized plan for pain management, muscle tension, headaches, relaxation, and physical recovery.

What should I consider acupuncture for?

People commonly consider acupuncture for chronic pain, neck or back pain, muscle and joint discomfort, headaches, stress, sleep concerns, pelvic pain, menstrual symptoms, and pregnancy or postpartum discomfort. Appropriateness depends on your health history, symptoms, and the practitioner’s regulated scope and training.

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most people feel little discomfort as the needles are inserted. Temporary sensations such as heaviness, warmth, tingling, or a dull ache can occur, and your practitioner can adjust or remove a needle at any time.

What is electroacupuncture?

Electroacupuncture uses a controlled, low-level electrical current between selected acupuncture needles. It may be considered for certain pain or muscle concerns when appropriate and with your consent.

Is acupuncture safe during pregnancy?

Acupuncture may be provided during pregnancy by a practitioner with appropriate training, but treatment must be adapted to the pregnancy and medical history. Share any complications or restrictions from your maternity-care provider before treatment.

Are there side effects after acupuncture?

Temporary bruising, minor bleeding, soreness, fatigue, or light-headedness can occur. Serious complications are uncommon when acupuncture is provided by a qualified practitioner using appropriate safety and infection-control procedures.

Is acupuncture covered by insurance in Ontario?

Coverage depends on the professional providing acupuncture and the terms of your extended health plan. Confirm eligible provider credentials, referral rules, and coverage limits with your insurer.
