Chinese Acupuncture has been used for over 2500 years to ease pain and improve the quality of life of those living with acute or chronic pain. Acupuncture reduces pain by stimulating the body's build-in healing mechanisms, promoting increased blood flow to the injured area, and activating the release of endorphins (pain-killer) from your body. At North York Acupuncture & Physiotherapy, our acupuncturist will seek out the root cause of your pain and ask pain-related questions like: (1) how would you describe your pain? (2) Where is the pain? (3) When did the pain start? and many other questions, during your initial visit.
