SquareOne Mississauga acupuncture therapists are licensed and trained in the art of acupuncture therapy. If traditional treatments such as physiotherapy or massage therapy do not seem to be working for your specific problem, then you may want to consider Mississauga acupuncture. This ancient treatment is first thought to have originated in China over 2,000 years ago. It is based on the idea that our life energy, or Qi, circulated throughout our body’s energy channels. When this energy is interrupted it results in aches and pains. Our acupuncture experts use acupuncture needles to stimulate specific points along those channels. That stimulation helps to restore the balance of the Qi and, in turn, helps the body to heal itself. The needles used by our acupuncture therapists are made of stainless steel wire and vary in length. The diameter will vary as well, depending on the area in which the needles are used.
