Physiotherapy + Acupuncture
Acupuncture supports physiotherapy by reducing pain and easing muscle tension that can restrict movement. When used in combination, it allows patients to begin active exercises with less discomfort and maintain steady progress through their recovery.
PAIN
RECOVERY
MOBILITY
FUNCTION
INFLAMMATION
REHABILITATION
Clinical studies have shown that integrating acupuncture into physiotherapy for conditions such as knee osteoarthritis and frozen shoulder can lead to greater improvements in mobility and pain reduction compared to physiotherapy alone.
This collaborative approach complements, rather than replaces, rehabilitation—each method strengthens the other’s outcomes.
Within British Columbia’s allied health model, this type of shared-care planning promotes smoother recovery and fewer treatment gaps.
By coordinating care between acupuncture and physiotherapy, patients experience a more consistent and supported pathway to function.
Chiropractic + Acupuncture
Chiropractic care restores alignment and mobility. Acupuncture complements it by reducing inflammation, relaxing supporting muscles, and modulating pain through neural pathways.
ALIGNMENT
NERVES
TENSION
RELIEF
Used together, they help patients achieve longer-lasting relief from spine- and nerve-related conditions.
Research has shown that combining manual therapy with acupuncture enhances outcomes in chronic low back pain and cervical radiculopathy by improving muscle tone and nerve function.
Acupuncture’s effect on local circulation and central pain processing supports the body’s natural healing response—making chiropractic adjustments more effective and comfortable. This integrated approach fits within British Columbia’s interdisciplinary care model.
Both treatments remain distinct, yet coordinated, providing balanced care for neuromusculoskeletal recovery without replacing one another.
Psychology + Acupuncture
Acupuncture complements psychological care by regulating the body’s stress response and improving physiological balance. It helps reduce symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, and muscle tension that can interfere with therapy progress.
STRESS
CALM
SLEEP
FOCUS
MOOD
Patients often report feeling calmer and more focused, allowing psychological interventions to work more effectively.
Evidence from clinical studies shows that acupuncture can lower cortisol levels and modulate autonomic nervous system activity, supporting the emotional regulation targeted in counselling and psychotherapy. It is not a replacement for mental health care—it acts as an adjunct tool that enhances overall treatment response.
In British Columbia’s integrated care model, acupuncture can be safely incorporated within collaborative mental health frameworks.
This connection between physical and emotional regulation aligns with whole-person healthcare and supports consistent, coordinated outcomes.
Occupational Therapy + Acupuncture
Occupational therapy helps individuals rebuild independence in daily life. Acupuncture complements this work by relieving pain, reducing inflammation, and promoting muscle relaxation—making movement retraining more effective and comfortable.
ACTIVITY
FUNCTION
ADAPTATION
PARTICIPATION
ENERGY
SUPPORT
Studies have found that integrating acupuncture into rehabilitation can accelerate functional recovery, improve fine motor control, and reduce neuropathic pain after stroke or trauma.
These effects enable patients to participate more fully in therapy, supporting smoother progress toward restored ability
Within British Columbia’s collaborative healthcare model, occupational therapists and acupuncturists can coordinate care to address both physical performance and systemic recovery.
This unified approach keeps care focused on outcomes that matter most—function, comfort, and long-term quality of life.
Kinesiology + Acupuncture
Kinesiology focuses on movement performance, biomechanics, and exercise-based rehabilitation. Acupuncture integrates seamlessly with this approach by improving circulation, supporting muscle recovery, and reducing pain sensitivity—helping clients move more efficiently and with greater comfort.
MOVEMENT
RECOVERY
PERFORMANCE
ENDURANCE
MUSCLE
FLOW
Research has shown that acupuncture can enhance muscle activation, reduce delayed-onset muscle soreness, and optimize neuromuscular control when paired with exercise therapy.
This combination supports faster recovery and sustained physical performance in both clinical and athletic settings.
In British Columbia, kinesiology and acupuncture can be incorporated within multidisciplinary care plans that target long-term mobility and injury prevention.
This partnership allows evidence-based exercise programs and targeted acupuncture to reinforce one another, improving function and resilience across stages of rehabilitation.
