Welcome to Oakville Acupuncture Clinic

The human body is comprised of thousands of intricate networks and passages (called Meridians) that connect the body’s network of systems to each other and the brain. A complicated system such as this requires maintenance to keep the flow of communication running smoothly. Since the body is comprised mostly of water, Oakville Acupuncture Clinic uses the metal of the needles to create conductivity in the body to clear out and reconnect these passageways.  Learn More

Muscles, Bones and Joints

The muscles, bones, and joints are known collectively as the musculo-skeletal system. A common result of disease or damage to this system is pain. Rheumatism and arthritis are sometimes used to describe this type of pain.

Nervous System

A stroke is caused by a disturbance of the blood supply to the brain. Blood flow to the brain can be interrupted if the blood vessels become blocked or bleed. This results in a deficient blood supply to the brain tissues that can be caused by: raised blood pressure, hardening of the arteries, and severe head injury.

Digestive System

Acupuncture is the Chinese treatment of choice for stomach ulcers. Although it has been noted that stomach ulcers do heal after acupuncture treatment, both types of stomach ulcers do heal spontaneously, thus convoluting the actual success rate of acupuncture.

Respiratory System

According to some Western research data, acupuncture causes the contracted muscular walls to dilate although the exact mechanism that facilitates this remains unknown. A recent Chinese medical trial claims that 70% of asthmatic patients obtained beneficial effects from acupuncture and moxibustion (approximately ten treatments) annually.

Heart and Blood Vessels

While acupuncture is not regularly utilized as a treatment for diseases of the circulatory system in the West, it is a common and acceptable form of Chinese treatment. Animal experiments conducted in China illustrate that acupuncture treatments do affect the circulatory system.

Addiction and Obesity
