Acupuncture Treatment in Calgary SE

Acupuncture on man's shoulder
Acupuncture is a natural and gentle way to support your body’s ability to heal and thrive. As an ideal complement to chiropractic care, we often recommend acupuncture when we notice signs that your body’s energy pathways—called meridians—aren’t flowing smoothly. This centuries-old practice focuses on restoring balance and harmony to your body’s systems.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

Imagine rivers of energy running through your body. When these rivers encounter a “traffic jam,” you might experience pain, tension, or other health concerns. Acupuncture helps clear these blockages by stimulating specific points along your meridians using very fine, gentle needles. Most people barely notice the needles at all!

More Than Just Pain Relief

While many people seek acupuncture for pain relief (and it does indeed do a great job of that), this therapy can address many other conditions. These include:

  • Anxiety, depression, and PTSD
  • Digestive issues
  • Hormonal concerns, including PMS, menopause, and fertility support
  • Headaches, migraines, and TMJ issues
  • Sleep problems
  • Stress
  • Allergies and skin conditions
  • Acupuncture is also great for overall health and wellness!
Additionally, we are pleased to offer facial acupuncture, which helps reduce muscle tension and stress in the face, improves local blood flow, tightens pores, increases collagen production, and eliminates fine lines and wrinkles. Perhaps best of all, you can refresh your appearance without harmful toxins.

What to Expect

Your first visit is all about you. We’ll take the time to understand your health, symptoms, and what you hope to achieve. From there, we’ll design a personalized plan and gently place needles on the points that can best support your needs. Many people describe feeling calm and deeply relaxed, both during the session and afterward.

The first appointment typically lasts about 75 minutes, with follow-ups usually around 60 minutes. Many notice positive changes within the first couple of sessions—sometimes even on the same day, especially with sleep or acute discomfort.

Real-Life Results: Finding Calm Before the School Bell

One of our favourite success stories comes from a friend and long-time patient who is a high school teacher. Every year, the lead-up to the first day of school would bring intense anxiety, sleepless nights, and overwhelming emotions. It was something she had struggled with for years.

We worked together using acupuncture, focusing not just on her anxiety but also on some deeper patterns that were contributing to how she felt. After about a month of regular sessions, everything changed. A week before school started, she was sleeping soundly, feeling calm, and even light and happy. You could literally see the difference—her eyes were brighter, and her natural spark had returned.

She still comes in every couple of months for maintenance visits, and each visit helps her stay grounded and balanced

Frequently Asked Questions

Does acupuncture hurt?

No; in fact, most people barely feel the needles because they are incredibly thin and gently placed. Many find the sessions deeply relaxing.

How often will I need acupuncture?

It’s up to you how often you want to come in for care. Some patients come in for weekly or monthly sessions. We’ll also recommend a care plan once we know more about your goals.

Does insurance cover it?

Many insurance plans do cover acupuncture, but it’s best to check with your provider to be sure.
