Book an AppointmentWhat is Registered Acupuncture & TCM?
Acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that involves inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the body's natural healing response. Our practitioners are registered with the College of Complementary Health Professionals of British Columbia (CCHPBC).
TCM takes a holistic approach to health, addressing the root cause of conditions rather than just the symptoms. In addition to acupuncture, our practitioners may use cupping therapy, moxibustion, herbal medicine, and dietary recommendations as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Acupuncture is recognized by Health Canada and covered by most extended health benefit plans. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, stress, hormonal imbalances, or digestive issues, our practitioners can help you achieve better health naturally.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does acupuncture hurt?
Most patients feel little to no discomfort during acupuncture. The needles are extremely fine — much thinner than a hypodermic needle. You may feel a mild tingling or warmth, which is a sign the treatment is working.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies depending on your condition. Acute conditions may resolve in 3–6 sessions, while chronic conditions may require ongoing treatment. Your practitioner will discuss a treatment plan during your first visit.
Is acupuncture covered by insurance?
Yes, most extended health benefit plans cover registered acupuncture. We offer direct billing to make the process easy. Contact our front desk to verify your coverage.
What should I do before my acupuncture appointment?
Eat a light meal 1–2 hours before your session. Avoid alcohol and strenuous exercise beforehand. Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to arms and legs.
Can acupuncture be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. Acupuncture works very well alongside massage therapy, physiotherapy, and chiropractic care. Our team can coordinate a multi-disciplinary treatment plan for optimal results.
