Student-led Acupuncture Clinic
Our bright and modern facility provides a variety of student-led acupuncture treatments for those of all ages.
About the clinic
Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) modality that uses points on the body that lie on meridians or pathways along which the body’s life-giving energy called Qi circulates.
Under the supervision of professional clinic mentors, ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Acupuncture students provide treatments including electroacupuncture, acupressure, cupping, herbal remedies and moxa.
If you are a new client, please take a look at the Acupuncture acknowledgement agreement before your first appointment.
IMPORTANT NOTE: At any time before or during treatment, the supervising Registered TCM/Acupuncturist may determine that treatment shall not proceed due to the increased risk to the client or others in the setting
All instructors/mentors involved in training students and supervising the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Acupuncture Clinic are duly regulated members in good standing with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario (CTCMPAO). CTCMPAO is the governing body established by the Government of Ontario under the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991 and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Act, 2006.Â
