What is Acupuncture
Acupuncture forms a core technique within Chinese medicine and reflects a medical system developed over more than 2,000 years. Practitioners place fine, thin needles at defined points on the body. This process creates electrical conductivity and stimulates acupuncture meridians. These meridians guide communication across body systems and the brain. Our Acupuncture therapy, Oakville focuses on restoring orderly signal flow through precise point selection.
The human body contains thousands of connected pathways known as meridians. These networks link organs, tissues, and the nervous system. A complex structure requires regular regulation to maintain clear internal communication. Body composition includes a high water content. Metal needles conduct electrical signals through tissue. This action supports reconnection of blocked pathways and steady circulation through the meridian system.

Think of the body as an intricate network of streams and rivers; occasionally over time rocks, leaves, and other debris can block the flow of the water like a miniature dam. In the body this is seen as the Qi (energy) and blood (nourishment) getting blocked from reaching their destination, manifesting in the body as sickness and pain. Acupuncture helps to dislodge this debris to get the body’s streams and rivers flowing properly again, resulting in vitality, energy, and overall health.
Our acupuncture care are safe, effective, and painless.
Acupuncture uses ultra fine needles, thinner than a human hair. Practitioners insert them with care and control. Most points create little to no sensation. Some points create a brief pinch. Based on your diagnosis, treatment often includes craniosacral bodywork during each session. This approach supports healthy flow through acupuncture meridians. Care at our acupuncture clinic, Oakville feels calm and restorative. Many patients rest or sleep during treatment.
Some cases require internal medicine support. Treatment then includes Chinese herbal therapy. Chinese herbs work as combined formulas, not single supplements. Each formula targets the full diagnosis rather than surface symptoms. Two people with headache pain often receive different herbal prescriptions because the root cause differs. This method reflects core principles of traditional Chinese medicine and individualized care.
