pain treatment and overall wellness
All of our acupuncture and TCM treatments at Qi Integrated Health are performed by Registered Acupuncturists (R.Ac.), Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners (R.TCM.P.) and/or Doctors of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Dr.TCM).
Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin acupuncture needles at specific acupuncture points on the body, playing a crucial role in traditional Chinese medicine for a pain treatment and overall wellness. The majority of extended health policies cover Vancouver acupuncture, and we can bill your insurance directly during your session.
Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles at specific points on the body to stimulate the flow of Qi (energy). This ancient practice promotes healing, reduces pain, and enhances overall well-being by balancing the body’s energy pathways.
Acupressure uses gentle pressure on specific points along the body’s meridians to alleviate pain, reduce stress, and promote relaxation. This needle-free technique is ideal for those who prefer a non-invasive approach to traditional acupuncture.

Common Questions
Curious about what to expect from Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine? Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive.
During your first acupuncture session, your practitioner will conduct a thorough consultation to understand your health history, current concerns, and treatment goals. The session will include an assessment of your pulse, tongue, and possibly other diagnostic methods used in TCM. After the consultation, your practitioner will insert fine, sterile needles at specific points on your body. You may feel a mild tingling or warmth, but the treatment is generally painless and deeply relaxing.
Absolutely. Acupuncture and TCM can be effectively combined with other treatments, including conventional medical care, physical therapy, and holistic therapies. Many patients find that integrating TCM with other modalities enhances their overall well-being and speeds up the healing process.
Some people may experience immediate relief or improvement after just one session, while others may require several treatments to notice significant changes. Typically, you might feel the effects within a few days to a week.
TCM herbal prescriptions can treat a wide range of conditions, including digestive issues, respiratory disorders, skin conditions, menstrual irregularities, and more. Your practitioner will tailor a unique herbal formula to address your specific symptoms and health goals, ensuring a holistic approach to healing.
Cupping therapy involves placing cups on the skin to create suction, which helps improve blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote detoxification. The suction pulls the skin and underlying tissues into the cup, which can leave temporary marks similar to bruises. These marks are a normal part of the healing process and typically fade within a few days.
Gua Sha is generally not painful, though you may experience some mild discomfort or redness during and after the treatment. This technique involves using a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape the skin, which helps stimulate circulation and relieve muscle tension. The redness is a sign that the treatment is working and usually subsides within a few hours.
Yes, TCM is widely used to support fertility and treat various women’s health issues, such as menstrual irregularities, menopause symptoms, and hormonal imbalances. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can help regulate the menstrual cycle, improve blood flow to the reproductive organs, and enhance overall fertility.
After an acupuncture session, it’s important to rest and hydrate. Avoid strenuous activities and allow your body time to integrate the effects of the treatment. You may feel deeply relaxed or energized, depending on how your body responds. Your practitioner may provide specific aftercare instructions based on your treatment plan.
Acupuncture typically doesn’t hurt because the needles are extremely thin and much finer than those used for injections or blood draws. The sensation is often described as a tingling or dull ache rather than a sharp pain.
Patients must avoid hot water and prolonged exposure to steam immediately after their session, as these can affect circulation and potentially influence the treatment results.
Many extended health insurance plans include coverage for acupuncture treatments provided by Registered Acupuncturists. Qi Integrated Health may also be able to bill your insurance directly during your visit, depending on your provider and plan.
