Acupuncture is an important treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is one of the primary tools that is used to support the body in restoring health.

Acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the central nervous system. This is turn creates biochemical changes that may stimulate the body's natural ability to heal. The function of acupuncture is to improve bloodflow and circulation so that the body can reduce inflammation, relax muscles, and soothe the nervous system. Therefore, acupuncture can help with pain and also promote physical and emotional well-being.

Acupuncture is done with hair thin needles. Most people report minimal pain and discomfort as the needle is inserted. Typically, needles will remain in the body for 20-30 minutes.

In addition to needles, there can be other forms of stimulation in treatments that can include:
- Heat (moxibustion)
- Pressure (Acupressure)
- Friction
- Suction Cupping
Depending on the treatment, some patients state that acupuncture makes them feel energized, while others relaxed.

Osteopathy was founded in 1874 by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, a medical physician in the United States. Osteopathy expanded across the world through Europe and Australia, and finally in Canada in 1981. Today, Osteopathy is a medical degree in the United States where Osteopaths practice as medical doctors and identified by the credentials D.O. Everywhere else is a manual practice. In Alberta the term Osteopath and the credentials D.O are reserved for Osteopathic Physicians. Members of the Alberta Association of Osteopathic Manual Therapists (AAOMT) use the term Osteopathic Manual Therapist and D.O.M.P. More information can be found at www.osteopathyalberta.com.
Osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on practice that assesses the whole person and all of the interrelationships, based on the principle of tensegrity. Everything in the body is connected, and nothing works on its own. When there is injury, pain or dysfunction, it is often caused by restriction or dysfunction elsewhere in the body. Osteopathic Manual Therapy uses skilled palpation to assess the structural, fluid and energetic body through assessment of the bones, muscles and joints, the organs and viscera, craniosacral system and fluids of the body to restore balance to all of the systems with gentle mobilization and manipulation of all of the tissues. Osteopathy is safe and effective for all people and all ages, from new born to elderly, and everyone in between.
Osteopathy can help with:
• Back pain
• Neck pain
• Acute and chronic injuries
• Chronic pain
• Headache and migraines
• Sleep
• Congestion
• Chronic bronchitis
• Digestion issues
• Reflux
• Constipation
• Anxiety or nervous system regulation
• Dysmenorrhea
• Irregular menstrual cycles
• Fertility
• Peri and post-partum health
• So much more!
