No acupuncture should never be painful! Although every practitioner has their own style, all of our therapists share the same belief that if you are uncomfortable while receiving care, your body won’t heal. We encourage patient feedback to let us know if a point doesn’t’ feel good or is painful and we’ll adjust the needle or remove it. Clinical acupuncture needles are SUPER thin and not meant to do anything else than stimulate a tiny spot.

Needle retention depends on your condition and what other modalities  we are incorporating into your treatment (such as cupping). Usually we retain needles anywhere between 10-30 minutes.

That depends on how long you have had a condition and how severe it is. The longer and more serious a condition is, usually will indicate you will require more treatments. We do find that the sweet spot is usually around 3-5 sessions to start seeing results whether that be a reduction in pain, increased mobility etc. We will have a better idea of how many acupuncture treatments you will require after we assess your health intake and complete the first session.  We will work with you to make sure you can manage bookings that align with your budget and schedule. We rarely suggest patients come more than 1/week.  We do not believe in high pressure or over booking tactics.

No. We are strong at treating health conditions and are experienced at providing all of our core services including cupping, cosmetic acupuncture, moxibustion, gua sha and facial cupping. To help you choose a therapist you can learn more about our individual education and experience in our bio section.

We are a general, high-volume clinic and all of us can effectively treat any condition for a clinical acupuncture appointment. We are experienced at fixing all health conditions. Our reputation for hiring skilled and caring practitioners that can help any health condition extends to all therapists that work at The Bronte Naturopathic Detox & Wellness Centre . The only difference in “specialties” would be that some of us don’t offer Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine.
