Acupuncture helps with neck and back pain; but what you do after treatment is just as important. Many clients sit too much and are not getting enough exercise. But ironically, many are consistent with strength training and/or stretching, and still complain of on going issues with low back pain and intolerance to sitting.
Why is this? Learn why the way we do acupuncture goes beyond our treatment. Acupuncture can treat anxiety problems with or without depression, and now research shows it to be as clinically significant as psychological counselling in the treatment of depression. Certain points used in acupuncture are able to "calm" or "deactivate" the brain's amygdala associated with stress and survival responses.

Vision & Mission
Report
The future is calling out for us to re-frame healthcare beyond alternatives - we must see past the dilemma of managing disease versus supporting a healthy life. Indeed, our turning point has already begun! The role of the medical system is being redefined in context to the shifting agents of individual awareness, responsibility and informed choice.
Our Story
Report
This is the story of how we got started. It is about what we stand for, and how we discovered what we needed to do to best serve those who walk through our doors. It is about realizing we needed to slow things down and pay better attention, being present with each client, to do our best job. But it was also about making acupuncture more efficient and accessible by introducing it in a community or group setting.

Acupuncture
Report
Acupuncture, an ancient practice, is evolving with new scientific exploration into how it relieves pain and therapeutically affects the body and mind. It impacts the nervous system, endocrine/hormone systems and the immune system. Increasingly, acupuncture is recognized as a complementary therapy that augments medical practices.
Community Clinics
Report
We complement, rather than replace, conventional western medical treatments. We use traditional and modern methods that activate and support the body's natural, adaptive mechanisms to improve the rate and extent of healing. One of the best decisions that I've made since moving to Edmonton is choosing to have regular acupuncture treatments with Gord for a range of health-related issues and for keeping myself functioning at my best.
