About
Nanaimo Acupuncture is a one-practitioner clinic in a converted heritage house on Fitzwilliam Street in Nanaimo's Old City Quarter, run by a registered acupuncturist with more than two decades in practice and tens of thousands of treatments behind it. Care blends Traditional Chinese Medicine thinking, which looks at improving circulation and restoring normal function across the whole body, with modern needling such as IMS (intramuscular stimulation, a form of dry needling) and neuropuncture. Training spans Japanese acupuncture and moxibustion, Korean styles, Balance Method, distal needling, Dong family acupuncture and NADA ear acupuncture for mental health and addictions. The practice is also certified in Sports Medicine Acupuncture, which adds orthopaedic exams, posture and movement assessment, manual muscle testing, PNF stretching, tuina and myofascial work, kinesiotaping, corrective exercises and medicated liniments to traditional treatment. Common reasons people come in include neck, shoulder and upper back tension, low back pain and disc problems, headaches and migraine, teeth grinding, whiplash and concussion recovery, sports strains and ligament or tendon injuries, post-surgical recovery, arthritis, frozen shoulder, tennis and golfer's elbow, carpal tunnel, plantar fasciitis and nerve pain such as fibromyalgia, CRPS and trigeminal neuralgia. Gentler protocols with cupping and moxibustion are used for chronic fatigue syndrome (ME), and treatment is also offered for stress, anxiety and depression, quitting smoking, and digestive, respiratory and reproductive health, including fertility support, pregnancy care with a pregnancy wedge for comfortable face-down positioning, labour preparation and postpartum support. Add-on options include static and moving cupping (included at no extra cost when appropriate), electrical stimulation, FSN (Fu's subcutaneous needling), Q Magnets, and topical and insufflation ozone therapy along with ozonated oils. Private one-on-one acupuncture and IMS sessions are $90 for 60 minutes. Community acupuncture, offered since 2009, runs on a $30 to $50 sliding scale for a 60-minute session in a reclining chair, with treatment on the head, arms and legs; it suits stress, anxiety, depression and many internal health concerns. The clinic bills ICBC and WorkSafeBC directly, which can cover the full cost of treatment for approved claims, bills BC MSP Supplementary Benefits for people with low income or a disability, and direct bills many extended health plans including Pacific, Alberta and Medavie Blue Cross, Manulife, Canada Life, GreenShield and Chambers of Commerce. New patients are welcome with no waitlist; book online through the clinic's Jane booking page, call the office or send an email.
