Traditional Chinese Acupuncture in Beaumont

Impact Physio & Sport Clinic offers acupuncture to residents of Beaumont, AB and nearby. Acupuncture is a form of treatment that involves the insertion of very tiny needles through the skin at strategic points and various depths. As a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it has been practiced for over 2000 years.
Acupuncture points are places where muscle, nerves and connective tissue can be worked on. The needle connects with nerves at these points, and the nerves send signals to the brain, which then releases neutral hormones and endorphins. The stimulation triggers the activation of the body’s natural pain reflexes, increasing blood flow to areas that need it most.
When performed correctly, acupuncture is extremely safe with very few side effects. It can also effectively be combined with other treatments to help control and manage pain. While it is an excellent natural alternative for anyone, Traditional Chinese Acupuncture in Beaumont is especially useful for clients who are unable to take pain medications.

What Happens During Acupuncture Treatment?

During acupuncture treatment, you and your therapist will discuss the best options for you and your body, as well as a well-rounded approach to your care. We will ensure you get the maximum benefit from your therapy for sustainable and long-term healing.
The initial idea of acupuncture may seem unfamiliar to you, but many people find this unique therapy very helpful as a means to control several painful conditions. Acupuncture is a gentle form of treatment with few side effects, so it may be a great option if you’re having trouble controlling your pain.
special preparation before your acupuncture

Before Treatment

You will not need to do any special preparation before your acupuncture appointment. At the beginning of your session, your trained acupuncturist will examine you and ask about your physical ailments, medical history, and personal goals for all treatments. They will assess your symptoms and offer you information on self-care and other complementary therapies.
Depending on the area that needs treatment, you will be asked to lie on your back, front or side.

Treatment

During Treatment

Impact Physio & Sport Clinic therapists will use single-use, disposable needles that are very small in size. These needles are regulated medical devices and are for use only by your licensed practitioner. When they insert the needles, there may be a brief tingling sensation, but not to worry – acupuncture is relatively painless.
The needles will be left in for an amount of time determined by your therapist, generally somewhere between 5 to 30 minutes, while you lie still and relax. There may be a dull ache at the base of the needle, but it will subside. For more intensive treatments, the needles may get stimulated by movement, with heat or electricity after insertion. There is usually no discomfort when they remove the needles.
Works

How It Works

1
Safe, Holistic Care
Acupuncture is reputed for being a safe and holistic treatment method due to its ability to stimulate the body’s natural painkillers through acupuncture points. This makes it an excellent form of relief for pregnant women or those seeking natural healing alternatives.
2
Complementary Treatment
Acupuncture is most successful when used alongside other types of treatments. Many patients receive acupuncture in conjunction with physiotherapy, massage or other treatment offerings at Impact Physio & Sport Clinic.
3
Pain-Free Alternative
One of the most common myths about acupuncture is that it is painful. This is far from true! Acupuncture involves little to no discomfort, with most patients reporting nothing more than a slight burning or tingling sensation (an indicator that the treatment is working).
benefits of Acupuncture Treatment

Why Acupuncture?

There is a range of benefits associated with acupuncture, including the treatment of a wide array of conditions and the ability to increase your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Acupuncture also has the ability to improve energy and biochemical balance and regulate the body’s internal systems.
Moreover, many patients choose acupuncture because it is an entirely safe and holistic healing method. When acupuncture points are stimulated, this releases chemicals into the muscles and triggers the body’s natural healing response. This makes Traditional Chinese Acupuncture in Beaumont an excellent treatment method for those looking to avoid pharmaceuticals or other synthetic forms of pain relief.
