Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine in Coquitlam | Natural Pain Relief
What Is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)?
Traditional Chinese Medicine is an ancient holistic healing system practiced for thousands of years. Unlike Western medicine, which often focuses on symptoms, TCM aims to restore balance throughout the body by working with these core principles:
- Qi (Energy): The vital life force flowing through your body
- Meridians: Pathways where Qi circulates
- Yin and Yang: Complementary forces that must stay in harmony
- Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water linked to organ systems
At ActiLife in Coquitlam, TCM guides our treatments to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and improve overall health.
What Is Acupuncture and How Does It Work?
Acupuncture is a key component of TCM that involves the insertion of ultra-fine, sterile needles into specific points along your body’s meridians. This helps unblock and balance Qi flow, stimulating your body’s natural healing mechanisms.
Our licensed practitioners provide acupuncture in Coquitlam that is:
- Safe and hygienic
- Comfortable and minimally invasive
- Evidence-based and personalized for your unique needs
