What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture has a long history. According to research, acupuncture therapy originated in the Neolithic Age from 7000-8000 to 4000 years ago.

In the early 19th century, European and American countries began to use acupuncture. Traditional Chinese medicine, which is characterized by a holistic concept, syndrome differentiation and treatment, and natural methods, is gradually being widely used.
Acupuncture is used by more and more people as a complementary therapy to treat arthritis, back pain, indigestion, rhinitis, headache, insomnia and other sub-health problems due to its minimally invasive, safe, and minimal side effects.
In Ontario, most Extended Health Care Insurers are covering acupuncture. You can consider acupuncture as an auxiliary therapy to use your insurance benefits for your own health.
How Is Acupuncture A Mechanism Of Action?
Research has found that acupuncture can promote the secretion of serotonin, endorphins and other analgesic chemicals in the nervous system.

How Do I Prepare For Acupuncture Treatment?
Preparing yourself properly before the first acupuncture appointment will help you receive the treatment better.
- Set aside time before and afterment the appointment
The initial acupuncture appointment will last about 75 minutes. Arrive 10-15 minutes earlier to settle yourself down, fill out the intake form, use the washroom, have some water etc.
Bring all your current medicines and supplements
Your acupuncturist & TCM practitioner might prescribe you some herb medicines. It is important to tell your acupuncturist the medicines and supplements you are currently taking to avoid drug-herb interactions that can have harmful effects.
- Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing
You might be requested to lie in different positions during the treatment. A loose-fitting clothing allows the acupuncturist to easily access the acupuncture points that need to be treated.
- Come to your appointment with your appetite satisfied, we advise you arrive with an empty stomach.
Eat an appropriate amount of food, –not a big meal, before your appointment to maintain a suitable blood sugar level to prevent discomfort from overeating or light dizziness from hunger.
What Can I Expect During My Acupuncture Appointment?

After the treatment is completed, all the needles will be removed and you can return to the normal activities.

TESTIMONIALS
Yanli is an excellent massage therapist! She always finds my muscle knots and effectively works on them. I love the deep tissue massage and hot stone massage. I will definitely miss my appointments with her when I move out of the city!
I HIGHLY recommend this place for acupuncture and massages! Yanli and Ken are incredibly talented, knowledgable, and caring! They are both exceptional and care for your needs. I always leave my appointment feeling relaxed and content. I LOVE this place – thank you Yanli & Ken!
I scheduled my first massage here after almost 1.5 years of the pandemic and reaching a point where I was comfortable booking a massage again. I’m glad that this location has good COVID protocols and that the staff respected it. Keep in mind that you must keep your mask on during the massage itself, so be sure to wear something comfortable!
Hidden Gem. Clean, organized, modern, professional. Works direct with insurance provider. Great RMT skills. Often offering same day or next day booking. Setup with Vagaro. Parking not bad. Don’t let Google map construction work discourage you. Bike lock mount outside. You must try this place.
The best place for your RMT needs. The therapists, all of them are the best. The receptionist is very warm and welcoming person.
