STRIVE to Be Your Best

Reduce Pain & Swelling

Releasing endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, while increasing blood flow and energy, acupuncture helps stimulate the body’s system, reducing pain and swelling.

Improve Circulation

In addition to stimulating stagnated energy, acupuncture also releases constricted blood vessels that inhibit blood flow, promoting vascular system health and boosting energy levels.

Recover From Injury

Placing acupuncture needles in the local site of the injury can help flush blood to it, encouraging healing. This can aid the healing of sport-related injuries, MVA injuries, and other issues.

Enhance Wellness

By increasing blood flow and releasing tension, acupuncture can improve body function, including the digestive, endocrine, cardiovascular, and immune systems.

"Strive has helped me immensely with my back pain issues. After 3 treatments each I’m pretty much at 100%. I went from moving and feeling like an 80 year old man to being able to be active again without any pain."

"I have used both physiotherapy and massage services at Strive. Tamara is knowledgeable and very personable. She got me back to my workout regimen quickly. She is amazingly strong and I always leave feeling refreshed."

"Kella is amazing, instead of just treating the pain like many physiotherapists she finds the source of the problem. You have to give it a try if you have unexplained knee pain."

What to Expect

Pre-Treatment

Our physiotherapists will assess your general health, body and well-being, asking questions about your issues. We’ll then choose specific points where the needles will be placed, so you get the relief you need.

During Treatment

We’ll gently place the needles in the specific treatment areas, where you might feel a little ‘zing’, heaviness or dull sensation. Our physiotherapists will make sure you’re comfortable and relaxed during the treatment.

Post-Treatment

After getting acupuncture in Calgary, it’s important that you rest, eat good nutritious food and slowly return to physical activity. You’ll experience instant pain relief, feel deeply relaxed and be emotional in the first few days.

FAQs

Is acupuncture safe and painless?

In the hands of our licensed practitioner, acupuncture is a very safe, pain-free treatment that can help with many acute and chronic conditions. It has been used for thousands of years, being perfected over time. Treatments are not painful, with many patients often falling asleep on the table.

What’s the difference between acupuncture and dry needling?

Acupuncture can be used for various medical conditions with the primary focus on naturally healing the body through energy. On the other hand, dry needling is designed to relieve tightness, tension and pain in the muscles.

Indeed, there are, each with its applications. These include body acupuncture (known as traditional), auricular, electro, acupressure, magnets and moxibustion. We can explain each one in more depth when you book your appointment.
