ACUPUNCTURE CENTER ON THE PLATEAU MONT-ROYAL

Acupuncture is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Its objective is to restore the body's bioenergetic functions harmoniously. The therapy acts on a person as a whole by stimulating the body's repair and adaptation mechanisms.

The acupuncturist first establishes a treatment plan based on observations and collected data. He then starts the treatment by stimulating specific areas of the skin using needles mainly, but he may also use various other tools or techniques.

Prevention

Acupuncture is a form of preventive treatment as it aims at regulating physiological functions. Therefore, periods of high stress, seasonal changes or when the body shows signs of fragility, are privileged moments to receive treatments. Acupuncture can prevent various health issues like mood swings, flu and colds, sleep disturbances, repeated infections, headaches, back pain, etc. The more recent a condition is, the faster and more effective the treatment will be.

BOOSTING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AND ACTION OVER TIME
