No, it does not hurt. Patients often report that the acupuncture treatment itself is relaxing.

The needles used in acupuncture are much thinner than most people have experienced, with a diameter of a strand of hair!

Our convenient downtown Nanaimo location (161 Selby Street) allows us to service clients from all across Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, and the surrounding Gulf Islands. Many of our clients reside in Nanaimo (or surrounding regions such as Cedar, Lantzville, and Nanoose Bay), though we often see clients travel from Duncan, Parksville, Courtenay, Campbell River, and even Gabriola Island and Protection Island for our services.

With our Telehealth Virtual Physiotherapy service, we can also remotely work with clients across British Columbia.

The time of payment depends on the source of your funding.

• if there is a cost borne by you it is usually due the same day as the appointment
• we offer direct billing to 3rd-party insurers, so feel free to call the clinic at 250.591.3730 if you have further questions'
• if, for example, you have a lawyer covering the cost of treatment, you may not be required to pay at all

Your treatment plan will usually involve education, exercise, and manual therapy components. Depending on your condition, this may include joint mobilization, manual therapy, massage, work hardening, pain reduction techniques, acupuncture or dry needling, modalities, shockwave, and general fitness guidance.
