Acupuncture Treatment Mississauga
Boost Your Immune System with Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an adjunctive treatment technique that reduces or relieves pain, facilitates healing, and improves function. Traditional Chinese medicine has been used for centuries and is now increasingly popular in Western medicine. Acupuncture involves inserting thin needles into the body at specific points. It is safe and effective and frequently acts as a substitute for drugs and sometimes even surgery—acupuncture results in alterations to nerves, muscles, connective tissue, hormones, and circulation. By stimulating specific points, acupuncture triggers the release of the body’s painkillers, endorphins, and serotonin.
At Proactive Clinic, our therapists in Mississauga use this holistic therapy to address a range of ailments, pains, and stress-related symptoms. Acupuncture affects the muscular, skeletal, neurological, digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems. It is by far the most effective when used with therapeutic exercise, traditional physiotherapy, and manual therapy.

How Does Acupuncture Work?
The thin, sterile needles used in acupuncture are applied to some body regions called acupoints, where they promote stimulation at those acupoints. These points lie on meridians or energy pathways thought to control the movement of Qi (life) through the body. Traditional Chinese Medicine has taught us that pain, disease, or dysfunction occurs when Qi is blocked or out of balance. Acupuncture helps restore balance, improves circulation, and promotes natural healing by inserting needles at precise points.
From a modern scientific viewpoint, acupuncture activates the nervous system and causes the release of neurotransmitters and endorphins, which aid in reducing pain and inflammation. Similarly, it improves blood circulation, increases immune function, and induces relaxation by acting on the body’s autonomic nervous system. As a result, acupuncture is an effective therapy for conditions including chronic pain, stress, digestive disorders, and even immune responses.
