At Tailor Made Wellness, acupuncture is part of our coordinated care. Whether you come in for acupuncture alone or alongside other services, your treatment is always connected to your full picture of health.
Understanding Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body to help stimulate the nervous system, release muscular tension, and support the body’s natural ability to heal and regulate itself.
Traditional acupuncture addresses internal complaints and physiological imbalances, supporting nervous system balance, energy balance therapy, and stress reduction therapy, while sports and orthopaedic acupuncture focuses on injuries, joint problems, and muscular pain. Both approaches support natural pain management, muscle tension relief, and wellness support therapy, and can be effective on their own or as part of a broader care plan.
At Tailor Made, our acupuncturist works alongside chiropractors, massage therapists, and other practitioners to provide integrated, coordinated care tailored to your specific needs.

How We Treat You
Our acupuncturist is trained in a range of traditional and modern techniques. The right approach will depend on your condition, goals, and personal preferences.
Traditional acupuncture
Insertion of fine needles into specific acupuncture points to help address internal complaints, physiological imbalances, and promote the body’s natural regulation. Sports and orthopaedic acupuncture targets injuries and joint problems, stimulates the nervous system, and helps release muscular tension and constrictions.
Electro-acupuncture
Adds electrical impulses via small electrodes to the acupuncture needles, providing further stimulation to help reduce inflammation and release constricted tissue.
Sliding cupping
A moving cupping technique that helps decrease muscle tension, improve circulation, and support detoxification. The suction draws blood to the area to help expedite tissue healing and promote lymphatic drainage.
Stationary cupping
Sustained, concentrated suction applied to specific areas for a more targeted therapeutic effect.
Gua sha
Uses a jade massage tool to help release myofascial tissue and promote blood circulation, supporting recovery from chronic tension and soft tissue restriction.
Tuina massage
A TCM therapeutic massage and bodywork technique using targeted pressure and manipulation to support the body’s energy flow and promote healing.
Moxibustion
An adjunctive technique that uses a warming device to stimulate movement in the muscles and meridians, supporting recovery and circulation.
Acu-laser therapy
Uses a wireless infrared laser to help produce anti-inflammatory effects, reduce pain, and support soft tissue and nerve regeneration through a photo-chemical response at the cellular level.
Blood letting
A specialized technique used to withdraw stagnant blood from tissue, helping to reduce congestion, eliminate waste, and promote cell repair.
Combination acupuncture and therapeutic massage
An integrated treatment combining acupuncture with a 30-minute therapeutic massage, ideal for patients who carry extra tension or want added relaxation alongside their acupuncture session.
What Happens When You Come In
From your first assessment to ongoing care, every step is built around you.
Understanding You
Every appointment begins with a thorough assessment. Your practitioner reviews your health history, movement patterns, and goals to help identify the root of the issue before any treatment begins.
Building Your Plan
Based on your assessment, we design a care plan tailored specifically to you. This may include one or more services available within the clinic, wherever you will get the best results.
Guiding Your Recovery
In most cases, treatment begins at your very first visit. Your practitioner will walk you through exactly what they are doing and why, so you always feel informed and in control. Care focuses on helping to improve movement and restore function through hands-on treatment and guided exercises you can continue at home.
Maintaining Your Health
Our goal is long-term wellness. Once your immediate concerns are addressed, we work with you on a plan to help maintain your progress, prevent recurring issues, and support your health as your lifestyle evolves.
