This holistic discipline of Chinese medicine has the great advantage of treating the person, and not the disease, on all levels of the being, physical, physiological and psychological.
Bring the person and the body back into balance.
Person and body in balance = health
Every health problem is an imbalance in the body. This is why acupuncture, by helping to restore balance, has the great advantage of being relevant to a very large number of health problems.
Acupuncture is proven and safe, and can be used for prevention, to treat, or to complement other therapies. It has few or no undesirable side effects and is an excellent way to improve your health naturally, without chemicals.
[greek holos, whole] • adjective
1. which comes under holism; theory according to which the man is an indivisible whole which cannot be explained by its various components (physical, physiological, psychological) considered separately.
Chinese medicine does not separate emotional health from the physical body. It is only the other side of the coin that represents your whole person. The stress or anxiety that we experience, consciously or not, lives in the body at all times. By working on the meridian channels, either through acupuncture or Tuina, we can remove the blockages and release the emotional tensions in the body and mind. A better connection with oneself, an ability to step back when necessary and a newfound joy are frequent effects of the treatment.
Chinese medicine pays special attention to women's health and recognizes its importance and fragility. Acupuncture takes into account the phases of your menstrual cycle and works to harmonize their transitions so that everything runs as smoothly as possible, regardless of the period of your life, from adolescence to menopause.
Acupuncture rejuvenates the appearance of the skin in a 100% natural way without any surgical intervention or injection. It does this by increasing blood circulation locally to the wrinkle, which deeply nourishes and hydrates the skin, as well as promoting the removal of toxins. Acupuncture stimulates skin cell renewal and the production of collagen and elastin in a way that guarantees a stronger, more toned skin and a lifting effect.
Chinese medicine is particularly well equipped to treat all forms of fatigue, whether physical, intellectual or emotional. Acupuncture has the ability to tonify the body's organs, which strengthens them and optimizes their functioning. It also allows you to preserve and increase your energy on a daily basis, without side effects.
Chinese medicine can treat both acute and chronic pain, and it does so by treating both the symptoms and the underlying causes that sustain the problem. Acupuncture decreases inflammation and increases blood and lymphatic circulation, which allows for better tissue regeneration. Qigong or martial arts exercises help you regain and maintain healthy movement of your joints and muscles.

Originally from Asia, acupuncture is now well established in Quebec and is a regulated practice under the Ordre des Acupuncteurs du Québec since 1995. Like all health professionals belonging to a professional order, acupuncturists are obliged to comply with the laws, regulations and code of ethics that govern them. This makes acupuncture a safe and recognized profession.
