Acupuncture, integrated with your care
Acupuncture uses fine, sterile needles placed at selected points or anatomical areas. The approach used can vary based on the healthcare professional, their training and the reason for treatment.
At Wellspring, acupuncture is offered by trained professionals across physiotherapy, chiropractic care and naturopathic medicine. Your provider will consider your health history, current concern and treatment goals before deciding whether acupuncture is appropriate for you.
Acupuncture may be used on its own or incorporated into a broader treatment plan when clinically appropriate.
Could acupuncture be part of your treatment plan?
People consider acupuncture for many different reasons. Whether it is appropriate depends on your individual presentation and the healthcare professional providing your care.
Neck & shoulder tension
May be considered within an individualized plan for muscular tension and related discomfort.
Back & hip discomfort

Headache-related concerns
Some healthcare providers use acupuncture as one component of care for appropriate headache presentations.
TMJ & jaw discomfort
Treatment decisions follow an assessment of the jaw, neck and relevant contributing factors.
Sports & activity concerns
Acupuncture may complement rehabilitation when it fits your assessment, activity demands and recovery goals.
Muscle tightness
Anatomy-based approaches may target relevant muscles or neuromuscular structures when appropriate.
Not sure whether acupuncture is appropriate for you?
Our team can help you choose the right appointment type.
Anatomical & Biomedical Acupuncture
In an anatomy-based approach, needle placement is informed by relevant muscles, joints and neuromuscular structures. It may be incorporated into a rehabilitation plan for selected musculoskeletal concerns when appropriate to the provider's scope and assessment.
This is not a one-size-fits-all protocol. Technique, treatment area and whether acupuncture is used at all should reflect your presentation, goals and the professional providing care.
Your practitioner reviews your symptoms, relevant health history and treatment goals before deciding whether acupuncture fits your care.

Clear answers before your first appointment at our Stoney Creek clinic.
What is anatomical or biomedical acupuncture?
Anatomical or biomedical acupuncture is an anatomy-informed approach in which needle placement may be selected with muscles, joints and neuromuscular structures in mind. The exact approach depends on the provider, their professional scope and your assessment.
Is acupuncture the same as dry needling?
The terms are sometimes used loosely, but they are not necessarily interchangeable. Techniques, clinical reasoning and professional frameworks can differ. Your Wellspring provider can explain the approach they use and why it may or may not be appropriate for you.
What concerns is acupuncture commonly considered for?
Depending on the provider and treatment approach, people may consider acupuncture for pain, muscle tension, headache-related concerns, TMJ discomfort or other appropriate health concerns. An assessment helps determine whether it fits your individual needs.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Sensation varies from person to person and with the technique used. Your practitioner will explain what to expect and should monitor your comfort throughout the appointment.
What happens at my first acupuncture appointment?
Your provider reviews your relevant health history, current concern and goals, completes an appropriate assessment, and discusses whether acupuncture fits your care. The exact appointment format can vary by profession and service booked.
How many acupuncture sessions will I need?
There is no single schedule that is right for everyone. Frequency and number of visits depend on your concern, response to care, goals, provider and treatment plan.
Is acupuncture covered by insurance in Ontario?
Coverage varies by extended health plan and may depend on which regulated health professional provides the service and how it is billed. Please check your individual plan or contact your insurer. Wellspring offers direct billing support where available.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
A physician referral is generally not required to book with Wellspring, although your individual insurance plan may have its own reimbursement requirements.
