Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient way of healing that involves the insertion of very fine, sterile, disposable needles into various points on the body. Acupuncturists do this to influence the flow of energy, stimulate the body’s healing response, and restore normal functions of the body.

Today, acupuncture is receiving wide acceptance as a respected, valid, and effective form of health care because of one fact- it works!

At Okanagan Acupuncture Centre, our practitioners are CTCMA-licensed Registered Acupuncturists and are highly trained in acupuncture and in the diagnosis and treatment of complex health concerns using the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
