Acupuncture in Northwest Calgary
Discover a natural, holistic approach to health with our acupuncture services at Beacon Hill Chiropractic and Massage. By focusing on balancing the body’s energy, or “qi,” acupuncture and acupressure can help relieve pain, support healing, and improve overall wellness. Qi is defined as the spark or force that initiates and controls all physiological functioning in the body.
Here’s a look at these Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapies:
Acupuncture
Very fine needles are inserted into specific points along the body’s meridians to stimulate specific functions and blood circulation as well as to activate qi in order to balance the body’s organ systems and functioning. When qi and blood are activated and flowing freely, the body can achieve balance, alleviating pain and reducing symptoms of illness.
Acupressure
For those who prefer needle-free options, acupressure applies gentle pressure on acupuncture points using hands or specialized tools. This method offers a gentler approach for individuals not ready for needles or needing softer stimulation.
