Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves strategic placement of thin needles to stimulate specific points on the body. This technique reduces inflammation, improves circulation, and alleviates chronic pain conditions like migraines and sciatica. Our practitioners use specialized methods such as Gokavi Transverse Technique for enhanced therapeutic effects.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy focuses on restoring mobility and reducing pain through targeted exercises and manual therapy. Our experienced physiotherapists treat post-surgical recovery, sports injuries, and musculoskeletal disorders using evidence-based techniques like traction, laser therapy, and muscle stimulation.
Massage Therapy
Registered massage therapists provide relaxation and therapeutic treatments to relieve stress, improve circulation, and address conditions like arthritis and sports injuries. Techniques include deep tissue work, myofascial release, and hot stone therapy tailored to individual patient needs.
Sports Acupuncture
Sports acupuncture targets sports-related injuries and performance optimization. This specialized treatment accelerates recovery from muscle strains, joint pain, and soft tissue damage using dry needling and Graston techniques combined with customized rehabilitation plans.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release addresses chronic pain and mobility restrictions by manipulating connective tissues. Therapists apply sustained pressure to release tightness in fascia, improving movement patterns and reducing discomfort from conditions like fibromyalgia and repetitive strain injuries.

If you are looking for the best Regina acupuncture, go to HealthWorks Regina. I had chronic shoulder pain from my sports injury and I can't believe how much they helped! They took the time to find out exactly how best to treat my pain. I wasn't hustled through like other places. Would recommend HealthWorks to anyone with chronic pain. Acupuncture with them was a game changer.

Had a wonderful experience at Healthworks! It was truly about finding a solution for my back pain and not just getting me in and out the door. I have been to a few physiotherapists and this is the first time it has truly helped. They genuinely care about providing long term solutions for your health- would recommend them to anyone!

If youre skeptical read this, I went into an acupuncture treatment with very little knowledge or background. All I know is I had pain, tried lots of other options and wanted it to go away. After a couple treatments my golfers elbow had finally healed. Ken is extremely professional and personable so if youre on the fence about trying it I definitely recommend health works! Thank you Ken!

I was furious with the way Ken Ansell was lifting the cover sheet off my body. It seemed to me that it was intentional in a bid to see my necked booms. Each time I remember this experience, I feel bad that I was not courageous to express my displeasure instantly.
