Acupuncture FAQ – Physiotherapy in Port Elgin & Owen Sound

Is acupuncture safe?

Yes. Acupuncture performed by a licensed physiotherapist is very safe. We use sterile, single-use needles and follow strict clinical guidelines.

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most patients feel little to no discomfort. You may notice a mild sensation such as warmth, tingling, or heaviness—often a sign the treatment is working.

How does acupuncture help with pain?

Acupuncture stimulates the nervous system to:

• Release natural pain-relieving chemicals (endorphins)

• Improve blood flow

• Reduce inflammation

• Normalize muscle tone and nerve activity

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on your condition, goals, and how your body responds. Some people notice improvement after one session, while others benefit from a short series combined with physiotherapy exercises.

Is acupuncture covered by insurance?

In many cases, yes. Acupuncture performed by a registered physiotherapist is often covered under extended health benefits. We recommend checking with your provider.

What’s the difference between dry needling and acupuncture?

Dry needling is a form of acupuncture used by physiotherapists to target muscle trigger points. Both approaches use similar needles, but treatment is based on clinical assessment and movement dysfunction.
