Acupuncture Toronto

Toronto Total Wellness is traditional Chinese medicine and fertility acupuncture in Toronto.

Total Wellness With Toronto Acupuncture

Acupuncture, an ancient technique, involves the insertion of ultra-thin, sterile needles into specific acu-points on your body. Don't worry! It's not as intimidating as it sounds. Total Wellness Centre offers painless and relaxing acupuncture at our Toronto clinic.

Fertility Acupuncture in Toronto — Your Safety Is Our Priority

Most patients are naturally anxious and uncertain when they first decide to try acupuncture. We would like to help allay some of these fears.

Is Acupuncture Safe?

Today’s disposable (single-use) stainless steel needles are very safe and effective in the hands of a properly trained practitioner. We use only single-use, disposable needles. 

Trust Our Expertise and 30+ Years of Experience! 

Each of our practitioners has at least 2 degrees in acupuncture and TCM, a bachelor's degree and an advanced degree, from internationally recognized Universities, followed by at least 30 years of clinical experience.

Have a Relaxing, Painless Treatment

Most people find acupuncture treatments to be very relaxing. It might surprise you to know that many patients do not even feel the needles once inserted. This can be easily explained though, as needles may be thinner than a human hair and may be inserted quite superficially, as little as 1-2mm in fact. Other patients feel a dull or heavy sensation at the point of needle insertion, and sometimes along the meridian that is being stimulated.

What to Expect from Our Acupuncture Clinic in Toronto

After your initial consultation and diagnosis, the practitioner will know exactly what acupuncture points require needling. These points often change from treatment to treatment as your treatment progresses. 

 Often between 10-15 needles can be inserted during a single treatment, although that number may be more or less depending on many factors. Once inserted it is important to limit any body movements. 

 On average, the needles will be left in for about 20 minutes. The practitioner always returns to remove the needles and ensure your comfort. The practitioner will sometimes re-stimulate the points by manipulating the needles while they are inserted. This process is usually not even felt by the patient. In fact, most of our patients report drifting into sleep or dream states during the treatment.

 There is no set number of treatments required to treat a disorder, as each person responds differently to treatment. The practitioner will assess you at the beginning of each treatment to learn how you are responding and make any changes or recommendations to the number and frequency of required visits.
