At 4 Points Health, we see clients achieving their health goals through caring for the whole person - body, mind, and our social connections. That’s why we’re proud to be making acupuncture a consistent part of our integrative approach to care. With its roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture has supported people for centuries by gently guiding the body back into balance and activating its natural healing abilities.
What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture involves the gentle insertion of very fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body. These points help regulate the flow of energy (Qi), restore balance, and activate the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Modern research shows that acupuncture also stimulates the nervous system, improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and releases endorphins - the body’s natural painkillers.

In addition to needling, acupuncture often incorporates a range of complementary
techniques, including cupping, gua sha (scraping therapy), auricular therapy, electro-acupuncture, acupressure and moxibustion. These modalities enhance and tailor the treatment to meet each individual’s unique needs, providing a holistic and integrated approach to healing.
Benefits of Acupuncture
Many people turn to acupuncture for both prevention and relief of health concerns. It can be helpful for:
Stress & Mental Health: anxiety, depression, insomnia, burnout, nervous system regulation
Digestive Health: IBS, bloating, nausea, acid reflux
Hormonal & Reproductive Support: menstrual health, menopause, fertility
Pain Relief: back, neck, shoulder, arthritis, headaches, migraines, sports injuries
Immune Support: allergies, frequent colds, autoimmune conditions
General Wellness: boosting energy, improving sleep, enhancing overall resilience
How Acupuncture Complements Other Therapies
One of the strengths of integrative healthcare is how different therapies can work together to create lasting results. Acupuncture fits seamlessly alongside:
Chiropractic Care: while chiropractic aligns the spine and optimizes nervous system function, acupuncture reduces muscle tension, eases inflammation, and helps the body maintain those structural corrections.
Massage Therapy: massage relaxes tight muscles and improves circulation; acupuncture deepens these effects by calming the nervous system and addressing the root imbalances behind recurring tension.
Physiotherapy: physiotherapy restores strength and mobility through exercise and rehabilitation; acupuncture speeds the process by reducing pain and swelling, helping the body respond more fully to physiotherapy programs.
Psychological Services: therapy and counseling support emotional well-being, resilience, and mental clarity. Acupuncture can complement this work by regulating the nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety, and creating a greater sense of balance, helping clients engage more deeply in their psychological care.
Together, these therapies form a supportive web of care, each addressing different layers of healing - from structure to function to energy, and from body to mind.
