What Is Medical Acupuncture?

Medical acupuncture is a modern therapeutic technique used to help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and support the body’s natural healing processes. While acupuncture has historical roots in traditional Chinese medicine, contemporary medical acupuncture is commonly used by healthcare professionals to treat musculoskeletal and neurological conditions.

During treatment, very fine needles are inserted into specific points in the body based on the patient’s condition and clinical assessment. At Kawartha Care Wellness Centre, acupuncture is provided by chiropractors who integrate it into comprehensive treatment plans designed to address the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction.

In some cases, gentle electrical stimulation may be applied to the needles to enhance the therapeutic effect and support muscle relaxation, circulation, and nerve function.

Many extended health insurance plans provide coverage for acupuncture services. Because acupuncture at Kawartha Care is performed by chiropractors, it is typically billed under chiropractic benefits. Some insurance providers may require a physician’s referral for reimbursement.
