Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or seeking a natural approach to improving your health and well-being, acupuncture can play an important role in your rehabilitation journey.
At Annex RMT, our acupuncture treatments combine traditional principles with modern, evidence-informed practice to help reduce pain, improve circulation, decrease muscle tension, and support the body's natural healing processes. Our goal is to help you move better, feel better, and recover faster.
How Acupuncture Can Help
Acupuncture is a safe, evidence-informed treatment that can help reduce pain, relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, support tissue healing, and restore balance within the body. It is commonly used to assist with injury recovery, chronic pain management, stress reduction, and overall physical wellness.
Every treatment is tailored to your individual needs and may incorporate a variety of traditional and modern techniques, including:
-
Acupuncture Needling – Fine, sterile needles stimulate specific points to encourage the body's natural healing response.
-
Electroacupuncture – Gentle electrical stimulation applied to acupuncture needles may enhance pain relief and muscle activation.
-
Fire Cupping – Uses suction to improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and release fascial restrictions.
-
Gua Sha – A soft tissue technique that helps improve circulation, reduce tension, and promote healing.
-
Moxibustion – Gentle heat therapy using dried mugwort to support circulation and recovery.
-
Traditional Chinese Medicine Assessment – A holistic evaluation that guides an individualized treatment plan based on your symptoms, health history, and goals.
By combining these techniques when appropriate, our practitioners provide personalized care designed to help you move better, feel better, and recover faster.

What to Expect During Your Visit
Your first appointment begins with a discussion of your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
Your practitioner will complete an assessment and explain their findings before developing a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. During treatment, very fine sterile needles are inserted into carefully selected acupuncture points and are typically left in place for 15–30 minutes while you relax.
Depending on your condition, your treatment may also include cupping, gua sha, or other complementary techniques designed to support recovery and improve function.
Your practitioner may also provide self-care recommendations or lifestyle advice to help maximize your results between visits.
