Registered Acupuncturist
Acupuncture is a therapeutic technique that involves the gentle insertion of ultra-fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body. These points help stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, improve circulation, reduce pain, and restore balance to physical and emotional health. At Encompass Calgary, our acupuncturist provides safe, effective, and personalized care designed to meet your unique needs.
Individualized Treatment: Every plan is tailored to your health goals, whether you’re seeking pain relief, stress reduction, or support with chronic conditions.
Comfort-Focused: Treatments are designed to be calming and relaxing. Most people feel only a slight sensation as the needles are placed.
Safe & Professional: We use only single-use, sterilized needles and follow the highest standards of hygiene.
Integrated Care: Acupuncture can be used on its own or alongside other therapies offered at Encompass Calgary.
