FAQ
Acupuncture is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and trained practitioner.
When using needling, it is possible to experience some sensation of pain during acupuncture treatment, but most people find it to be mild and tolerable; for individuals who are particularly afraid of pain, alternative modalities such as acupressure, Tuina massage, or cupping.
The use of acupuncture needles may result in minor side effects such as bruising, bleeding, or temporary soreness at the site of needle insertion, which typically resolve on their own within a short period of time.
OHIP does not cover acupuncture, while most private health insurance plans do cover acupuncture. Since each individual's insurance policy may vary, it is recommended that you confirm with your health insurance provider whether acupuncture treatment is covered before considering using your medical insurance for acupuncture.
