Relieving Pain and Limitations with Acupuncture

At Miller Health, we are able to offer both Traditional Chinese Acupuncture (TCM) and Medical Contemporary Acupuncture (CMA). Using knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology, we can provide pain relief and alter movement patterns, improving overall function. Acupuncture has been widely studied, and has been shown to be effective in reducing chronic pain, anxiety, insomnia, and can assist with many other common conditions. 

Using painless needling techniques, acupuncture can be incorporated into your plan of care for a variety of conditions.

Acupuncture and TCM In Orillia

Acupuncture affects the body’s neural and hormonal systems through the painless insertion of stainless steel needles into specific areas of your body. 

The well established meridians – channels of acupuncture points connected to various organ systems – provide a framework for the use of needle acupuncture, cupping, acupressure, gua sha, moxibustion, and other modalities. There is a clear emphasis on the prevention of illness by maintaining homeostasis within the body. 

Acupuncture is one component of the TCM philosophy and offers a unique perspective on our health that is complementary to the rest of our team members’ professions. 

A Registered Acupuncturist is part of a regulated college, like Physiotherapists and Chiropractors in Ontario.

Still, every acupuncture treatment will feature the same mechanics. This is, perhaps, the most wonderful part about acupuncture: it’s very simple, yet very effective, and completely customizable. Your treatments at Miller Health are personalized according to you, your history, your symptoms, and your goals.

Choosing The Right Acupuncture Clinic

As mentioned above, acupuncture is a highly personalized treatment. It requires a great deal of customization and care in order to be truly effective. For this reason, it’s crucial to select a clinic that places a large emphasis on long appointment times to give every patient the attention they deserve.   

Due to the fact that we are a multidisciplinary clinic, our team can prescribe acupuncture treatment alongside several other therapies to provide the most effective care possible.
