Acupuncture in Cranbrook, BC

Acupuncture

Acupuncture has supported healing for thousands of years — and its benefits are now widely recognized in modern medicine.

At Kootenay Therapy Center, we integrate evidence-informed acupuncture into our services to help you manage pain, regulate your nervous system, and support your overall wellbeing.

Whether you’re seeking relief from a specific condition or looking to improve whole-body balance, our skilled practitioners will create a treatment plan tailored to you.

What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a therapeutic technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves the precise insertion of fine, single-use needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the nervous system and promote healing.

This process encourages the body to release natural chemicals like endorphins and neurotransmitters, which help reduce pain, regulate hormones, and restore physiological balance.

At KTC, acupuncture is offered within an integrative care framework and may be part of your physiotherapy treatment plan or stand alone as its own service.

Healing That Respects Your Whole Self

We understand that no two people are the same and no injury, illness, or challenge shows up in exactly the same way. That’s why we approach each treatment with curiosity, collaboration, and care.

Your goals guide us.

Your experience matters.

And your whole-body health — physical, mental, and emotional — is always at the center of what we do.

What to Expect

Your session will begin with a brief intake, where your practitioner will discuss your symptoms and goals. During the treatment, very fine, sterile needles will be placed at specific points on the body and left in for a short duration — typically 15–30 minutes.

Most people find the process relaxing and experience a noticeable shift in symptoms within a few sessions.
