WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?
Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese Medicine practice that involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body to heal and balance. These points are chosen to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue to relieve pain, reduce stress and improve overall well-being. Acupuncture is known to support the body’s natural healing processes, restore energy flow and help the body function at its best.
At Physiothenix in Toronto, our acupuncture treatments are customized to your needs whether you’re looking for relief from chronic pain or boosting your physical recovery. Our experienced practitioner uses modern physiology to ensure a safe and effective treatment for your journey to better health.

FAQS
Acupuncture in Toronto is generally not painful. Most people feel minimal discomfort as the thin needles are gently inserted, often describing the sensation as a slight tingling or warmth rather than pain.
IMS (Intramuscular Stimulation) or dry needling and acupuncture both use thin needles, but they differ in purpose and technique. Acupuncture is based on traditional Chinese medicine, targeting specific points to balance energy and treat various health issues. IMS/dry needling, rooted in Western medicine, focuses on releasing tight muscle trigger points to relieve pain and improve muscle function.

02 Treatment
Because of Physiothenix I am back to feeling great, riding my bike, and playing basketball. I've had quite a bit of experience rehabbing from sports injuries and Landyn is the first physiotherapist who not only rehabbed my knee, but strengthen all the surrounding areas by adding in activities that simulate the sports I play. He really cares about getting you back to doing the activities you love and making sure you are stronger than before the injury.

I highly recommend Joshua as a chiropractor! I was struggling with thoracic pain that affected my muscle-ups, but after just a few sessions, I noticed a significant improvement. Joshua took the time to assess my condition and created a tailored treatment plan. His approach not only alleviated my pain but also improved my mobility and strength. He also provided valuable exercises to help prevent future issues. I can now perform muscle-ups without discomfort! Thanks Joshua!

He has an incredible ability to get you to dig down deep and exceed your own expectations of what you thought was possible with your recovery, health and wellness - HUGE THANKS!
