Acupuncture St. Catharines

What is Acupuncture?

Medical acupuncture in St. Catharines is a modern, evidence-based treatment that uses thin, sterile needles to stimulate specific points in the body and promote healing.

Grounded in anatomy and neuroscience, acupuncture works by:

Reducing pain through natural endorphin release
Improving blood flow to injured tissues
Decreasing muscle tension
Supporting tissue repair

Acupuncture FAQ:

Most patients feel minimal discomfort. The needles are extremely thin, and many people describe the sensation as a mild ache or tingling that fades quickly.

Yes. At LV Physiotherapy, all needles are sterile and single-use. Medical acupuncture is considered very safe when performed by trained healthcare professionals.

This depends on your condition, its severity, and how long you have had it. Some patients feel improvement after just one session, while chronic issues may require multiple visits.

During your assessment, we will provide a clear treatment plan and expectations.

In many cases, acupuncture performed by a registered physiotherapist is covered under physiotherapy benefits. We recommend checking with your provider.

Medical acupuncture and dry needling share similar techniques. Both involve inserting needles into muscle tissue to relieve pain and improve function. At LV Physiotherapy, we use evidence-informed needling techniques tailored to your condition and rehabilitation plan.
