​East Coast Acupuncture
in Halifax-Bedford-Sackville NS

​Navigating the Health Care system in Nova Scotia can be frustrating and intimidating: thousands of people have no family doctor and are on a multi year long waiting list.  Walk-in clinic's are trying to do the front line work, allotting 10 min. per patient for a face to face visit with a doctor. Results: The patient's symptoms might be relieved for a short period of time with prescription drugs but if the root of the problem isn't determined and dealt with, the pain and discomfort will develop silently into a full blown disease. That is why people are searching for alternative medicine and are discovering the powerful results of Traditional Chinese Medicine. 

Let me help you relief your pains, your digestive problems and fatigue, your  anxiety, depression and unhappiness. My treatments are pain free, relaxing and re-energizing. Add my treatments into your lifestyle and you will feel better after every session.
I offer the following therapies in both clinics in Halifax/Bedford and the Middle Sackville Clinic.

Results

Noticible pain relief after your first treatment.
Long term pain relief might require regular sessions and  a guided moderate lifestyle adjustment, all resulting in an increased level of energy, vitality and happiness.  

    Breathe, Relax, Repeat.

Breathe            
Deep breathing is very important in maintaining a healthy body and mind. It not only helps balance your nervous system but it also boosts  the quality and quantity of oxigen delivered to your vital organs. Air, oxigen, is energy and this energy helps your body heal.
This energy  makes you feel stronger and more relaxed.

Relax
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective stress creates tension or blockages in the meridians and channels where the bio-electricity flows. These manifest in mental/emotional and physical symptoms. 
Acupuncture and other Traditional Chinese Medicine Therapies can assist by allowing the body to go into a state of least resistance which allows the release of endorphins and serotonins within the brain. 
Once this is achieved, sympathetic nerve activity decreases, lowering blood pressure and heart rate, leading to an overall feeling of relaxation and well-being with a marked improvement in symptoms.

Repeat
In general, one acupuncture session isn’t enough to achieve enduring results; to ensure better and longer lasting results you might need acupuncture treatments or other Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies weekly or bi-weekly  untill symptoms are under control. Once your symptoms are under control you will enter the maintenance stage, one session/month or as necessary.
