Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient form of Chinese medicine involving the insertion of very fine needles into the skin at specific points on the body to achieve a therapeutic effect. No drug is injected. The needles alone create the beneficial effects of Acupuncture.
Acupuncture is used to encourage natural healing, improve mood and energy, reduce or relieve pain and improve function of affected areas of the body. It is safe and effective and is often successfully used as an alternative to medications or even surgery. Relief is often obtained with acupuncture when traditional medical therapy has failed. Because of shape and the design of the needles, very little discomfort is usually reported.
Dr Bardwell has been certified in Medical Acupuncture by the AFCI and CAMA, through courses at the University of Toronto and McMaster University respectfully, and has used Acupuncture successfully to treat a variety of conditions, including Sciatica, Lower back pain, Headaches, Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Sports Injuries to name a few.
