Acupuncture Physiotherapy in Ottawa | Premier Physiotherapy

Acupuncture is a technique rooted in Eastern medicine and widely integrated into modern physiotherapy practice to relieve pain, regulate the nervous system, and support overall healing. At Premier Physiotherapy Ottawa, our physiotherapists use acupuncture as part of a holistic treatment plan tailored to each patient.

This therapy involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body. These needles are left in place for several minutes to help stimulate natural healing responses. During treatment, you may feel a mild sensation such as warmth, pressure, or a slight prick at the needle sites.

How Acupuncture Works in Physiotherapy

  • Pain Relief: Acupuncture activates the nervous system to release endorphins and reduce pain signals.
  • Improved Blood Flow: Needle placement helps increase circulation, supporting tissue healing.
  • Muscle Relaxation: Targeted needling can help release tension in tight or overworked muscles.
  • Nerve Stimulation: Certain acupuncture points can influence nerve function and improve overall body regulation.

At our Ottawa clinic, acupuncture is often used in combination with other physiotherapy methods such as manual therapy, exercise prescription, and patient education. The goal is to enhance your body’s natural ability to heal while reducing discomfort and improving function.
