The Healing Power of Acupuncture: How It Can Help You Feel Your Best

Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice with modern-day benefits. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to promote balance within the body, reduce pain, and support overall wellness. At Healside Clinic, located near Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster, our experienced acupuncturists offer personalized treatments designed to help you feel your best—naturally and holistically.

What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body. These points, known as acupoints, lie along pathways called meridians, which are believed to conduct energy—or "Qi" (pronounced chee)—through the body. When Qi becomes blocked or imbalanced, it can lead to pain, stress, and illness. Acupuncture works to restore the proper flow of energy, supporting the body’s natural healing process.

How Acupuncture Can Help

Acupuncture has been widely studied and shown to be effective in treating a variety of conditions, including:

• Chronic pain (back, neck, joints, arthritis)

• Headaches and migraines

• Stress, anxiety, and depression

• Digestive issues

• Sleep disorders

• Women's health (menstrual irregularities, fertility support, menopause)

• Allergies and immune support

Many patients also find that acupuncture helps improve energy levels, mood, and overall sense of well-being.
