Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can acupuncture help with pain?

Research and clinical recommendations vary by pain condition. Some people may experience symptom relief, but results are not guaranteed and acupuncture does not address every underlying cause.

When should pain be assessed urgently?

Seek urgent medical care for severe or rapidly worsening pain, pain after major injury, chest pain, new weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or other alarming symptoms.

Can acupuncture replace physiotherapy or medical treatment?

It should not automatically replace recommended assessment, rehabilitation or medical treatment. Discuss how complementary care may fit your individual plan.
