East Toronto Orthopaedic & Sports Injury Clinic and Trilogy Physiotherapy have partnered in order to provide you with the experienced and skilled care you deserve.
Western Medical Acupuncture combines methods from traditional Chinese acupuncture with the contemporary research of anatomy, neurology, physiology, pathology and evidence-based medicine.
Acupuncture therapy is a form of treatment in which multiple hair-thin needles are inserted in the skin at specific points and in various depths. The needles are left in place to take effect for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, or as determined by the practitioner.
Our therapists complete extensive training and stay up-to-date on the most current research and application methods to provide the best acupuncture treatment in Toronto. Acupuncture is a growing field of treatment and its efficacy continues to be recognized in relation for a range of conditions.
There is a growing body of research that indicates acupuncture is successful in promoting recovery and treating pain in many regions of the body, including many types of chronic pain. Patients report that acupuncture reduces stiffness and soreness in the treated areas, allowing daily activities to resume with less strain.
One of the primary uses of acupuncture is treating acute muscle pain. Symptoms of muscle pain include tenderness, swelling, bruising and redness. Muscle pain can be debilitating. Acupuncture stimulation can release neuropeptides and endorphins to treat muscles, activating the healing process.
Pain of the joints can also be lessened by regular acupuncture treatment. Applying acupuncture to areas in and around the joints works by affecting neurotransmitters, hormone levels, and the immune system. Sufferers of arthritis have seen the benefits of acupuncture through regular treatment in combination with other medical interventions such as anti-inflammatory treatment.
Acupuncture is beneficial as part of managing postoperative pain. After an operation, the body is weak. Managing your recovery is just as crucial as the procedure itself. Acupuncture can accompany and supplement other postoperative treatments can involve taking pain medication or a specialized diet. Many patients find relief from postoperative discomfort through our acupuncture treatment in Toronto, where acupuncture serves as a complementary approach to traditional postoperative treatments, aiding in pain management and promoting overall recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Acupuncture
What can acupuncture treat?
Acupuncture has been shown to help treat muscle tension and chronic pain, reduce stress and anxiety, and help with nausea.
Can acupuncture help with nerve pain?
Acupuncture treatment can stimulate the nervous system to release naturally occurring opioids. These opioids help suppress the transmission of pain signals. Acupuncture can also help promote blood flow to accelerate healing.
Where are acupuncture points?
Acupuncture points lie along meridians that are distributed all over the body. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, each meridian represents one of the major organs.
How does acupuncture relieve pain?
Acupuncture relieves pain by stimulating the nervous system to release natural endorphins. It also modulates the activity in the portion of the brain responsible for the release of serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with mood.
Which is better, acupuncture or massage?
They really work best in tandem. Acupuncture is better at decreasing overall nervous system activity which drives increased muscle tone. That being said, massage is able to break down adhesions in the musculature and fascia that form over time from elevated neurological input and stress.

Marshall was very helpful and professional and worked with me on a very painful knee injury. i began a few months ago barely able to bend it or walk up and down stairs and have improved greatly with his program. i am now able to run up and downstairs with no problems and am almost back to 100%. the receptionists are also accommodating and professional and were easily able to process insurance claims, answer questions, and reschedule appts when i was sick or something came up. i was very impressed by my experience here and would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a new physio!
