Acupuncture at Salmon Arm Wellness Clinic

Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to manipulate the flow of "Qi" (pronounced "chee"), or life force. It is believed that the flow of Qi through the body's meridian system is critical for health and well-being. Acupuncture aims to restore balance and health by adjusting this flow of energy.

When we use acupuncture, we are stimulating nerve endings to release endorphins or other neurotransmitters to help reduce pain and provide therapeutic treatment. Whether you are suffering from chronic migraines, endometriosis, fertility concerns, or sports injuries, Salmon Arm Wellness Clinic is here for your relief.

Now every day in the clinic, I get to help you feel and perform your best, and I am continually blown away by the effectiveness of acupuncture and natural medicine. I specialize in treating sports injuries, fertility, women’s health, and chronic and complex pain such as peripheral neuropathy.
