Professional Acupuncture to Reduce Pain, Restore Balance & Support Healing
Acupuncture is a time-tested, evidence-informed therapy that works by stimulating specific points on the body to support the nervous system, improve circulation, and promote the body’s natural healing processes. At Back in Action, our registered acupuncturists provide personalized, results-driven treatments designed to reduce pain, relieve tension, and restore balance throughout the body.
Whether you’re managing acute or chronic pain, recovering from injury, dealing with stress or muscle tightness, or looking to support overall wellness and performance, acupuncture can help your body heal more efficiently and feel its best.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a healthcare discipline rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and supported by modern clinical research. It involves the precise insertion of very fine, sterile needles at specific points on the body to stimulate the nervous system, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing processes.
With acupuncture clinicians assess pain patterns, muscle tension, movement limitations, stress levels, and overall health to determine which points will best support recovery and balance.
At Back in Action, acupuncture may include evidence-based techniques such as:
-
Traditional needle acupuncture
-
Electroacupuncture
-
Trigger point acupuncture
-
Motor point stimulation
-
Relaxation and nervous system regulation techniques
Together, acupuncture addresses both the source of pain or dysfunction and how the body responds, helping you heal more effectively and feel more balanced overall.
How Will Acupuncture Help Me?
Address stiffness, muscle imbalances, and poor movement patterns that lead to pain or injury.
Acupuncture helps by supporting your body’s natural ability to heal, regulate pain, and restore balance. By stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture influences the nervous system, improves circulation, and reduces muscle tension and inflammation.
Depending on your needs, acupuncture can help:
-
Reduce acute and chronic pain
-
Relieve muscle tightness and joint stiffness
-
Support injury recovery and tissue healing
-
Calm the nervous system and reduce stress
-
Improve sleep, energy, and overall wellbeing
Acupuncture is especially effective for conditions involving pain, tension, stress, or dysfunction in how the body regulates itself. Treatments are personalised to your symptoms and goals, helping address both what you’re feeling and why it’s happening.
At Back in Action, acupuncture is often used on its own or alongside other therapies to help you move better, recover faster, and feel more balanced in your body.
What Should I Expect From an Acupuncture session at Back in Action?
Your acupuncture session at Back in Action is designed to be comfortable, professional, and tailored specifically to you.
Initial Assessment
Your appointment begins with a detailed assessment of your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. Your acupuncturist will evaluate areas of pain or tension, movement patterns, and contributing factors to determine the most effective treatment plan.
Personalised Treatment
Very fine, sterile needles are gently inserted at specific points on the body based on your individual needs. Most people feel little to no discomfort, and many experience a sense of relaxation during treatment. Needles are typically left in place for 15–30 minutes while your body responds to the therapy.
What You May Feel
You may notice sensations such as warmth, heaviness, tingling, or deep relaxation. These responses are normal and indicate your nervous system is being stimulated. Some people feel immediate relief, while others notice gradual improvements over several sessions.
After Your Session
After treatment, you may feel relaxed, energized, or slightly sore similar to post-exercise soreness. Your treatment provider may provide guidance on movement, hydration, or self-care to support your results.
At Back in Action, acupuncture sessions focus on addressing the root cause of your symptoms while supporting long-term healing, recovery, and overall wellbeing.
