Wellness with ModernAcu

Acupuncture can help boost your health and wellness in these areas:

STRESS

Stress is the cause and/or major factor in disease and chronic illness. Acupuncture reduces cortisol, or the stress hormone that increases during times of stress. It brings your body out of the fight of flight stress response and into a more relaxed state. Stress manifests in so many ways and it is by treating the root, we can help many symptoms associated with the problem.

SLEEP

Good restorative sleep is vital for clearing waste from the brain, repairing cells and supporting memory and mental agility. Acupuncture stabilizes the natural circadian rhythm, which affects metabolism, hormones, mood, memory and many other important bodily functions.

MOOD

Acupuncture can stimulate the release of serotonin and dopamine which are neurotransmitters in the brain that affect your mood, sleep and behaviour. These important chemical messengers help you feel good and regulate your moods.

ENERGY

We see the body is an interconnected energy system. When all the energy pathways (we call meridians) are open and there is unobstructed flow, then all the organ systems work well. If there are disruptions in the path, that is when symptoms arise. By stimulating acupuncture points along these pathways, we can restore proper energy flow which helps your body’s system work optimally.

IMMUNITY

This scientific study shows that acupuncture can stimulate the body’s natural killer cells which induce an anti-cancer immune function.

CANCER SUPPORT

Acupuncture is safe and effective way to treat the side effects of chemo and radiation including pain, nausea and fatigue as well as support the body for immunity and wellness.

Reproductive Health with ModernAcu

Supporting menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, and hormonal balance through the seasons of your life.

MENSTRUATION

Acupuncture helps regulate your cycle and promotes hormonal balance for a pain-free period.

FERTILITY

For women, acupuncture promotes healthy, regular cycles and ovulation. It helps to increase the thickness of the endometrium which facilitates implantation.

PREGNANCY

Studies show acupuncture effectively treats morning sickness, fatigue and swelling. Natural medicine for heartburn and other discomforts at a time when you want to avoid prescription or OTC drugs.

BREECH

Experience has shown that acupuncture, moxabuxion and postural techniques increase the chances of turning a breech baby.

MENOPAUSE

Acupuncture can help reduce hot flashes, increase libido, energy and mood during the perimenopause and beyond.

NATURAL LABOUR INDUCTION

Natural labour induction can be administered at week 38-40 in normal healthy pregnancies with the approval of your OB/GYN. Acupuncture can stimulate uterine contractions and increase oxytocin.

Mental Health with ModernAcu

Supportive, compassionate, effective treatment for all of you – EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED!

PAIN RELIEF

Over 80% of those with chronic pain also suffer from depression and other mood disorders. Acupuncture is widely known for its effectiveness in the treatment of pain. Its unique role in reducing suffering in patients experiencing pain is one of the main reasons it has become so popular around the world.

ANXIETY

The best available evidence demonstrates that acupuncture has moderate benefits in the treatment of anxiety. Studies show that acupuncture is more effective than pharmacotherapy and comparable to talking therapy, making it a helpful referral choice. Moreover, research has revealed several known biochemical and biophysical mechanisms that may offer an explanation of how this ancient modality works.

DEPRESSION

A scientific study found that electroacupuncture was just as effective as fluoxetine (Prozac) in reducing symptoms of depression. The acupuncture began to work faster, reducing symptoms more dramatically at weeks two and four than the drug did. Among the patients who got better, a higher percentage of the acupuncture recipients showed “great improvement.”

ADDICTION

The NADA Protocol used at ModernAcu is a non-verbal approach to healing. NADA involves the gentle placement of up to five small, sterilized disposable needles into specific sites on each ear.

NADA ear acupuncture is an adjunct therapy which is clinically effective, cost-efficient, drug-free and compatible cross-cultural for supporting those suffering from cravings (food, nicotine, alcohol, drugs), withdrawal symptoms or stress and emotional trauma.

Facial Rejuvenation with ModernAcu

Feel as good as you look! Revitalize mind and body, not just your face…

Facial acupuncture affects the whole body, but the increase in circulation locally and the lifting effects of the needles will make you look and feel more radiant as well.

We use the Celluma pro, a professional grade LED light therapy that boosts collagen and increases the circulation.

You simply relax with the treatment deeply restores and renews your skin. Your session includes a Vit C treatment and other skin nourishing topical treatments to leave you glowing and bright!

As in every ModernAcu treatment, this is a truly bespoke facial where we work together to address your areas of concern!

Amazing!!! I'm blown away by the quick and efficient way my body has responded to acupuncture. I was very open to the process and had no idea what to expect, but it's really been unbelievable! Thank you, Paige for starting this journey with me! 🩷🩷 If you've tried everything, not sure how to move forward, try acupuncture! I highly recommend ModernAcu!

I admit I was very skeptical about acupuncture. I had 2 bulged discs in my neck and rheumatoid arthritis. I was in incredible pain as my bulged discs were impinging on the nerve that goes to my right arm and I could not get the muscles in my neck/back/shoulder to release. She fixed this in my first visit. I continued to see Paige to see if she could help my arthritis. Its my belief that her treatment was the thing I needed to put my arthritis on remission (I was taking biologics for my arthritis for many years and it just couldn't stop all the pain all alone). I'll continue to see Paige as her treatments made a huge difference for me.

I highly recommend Paige and the entire staff of this clinic. I had a painful shoulder that was affecting my quality of life - I felt an improvement after the first accupuncture treatment. After 4 treatments, I have almost no pain :). Paige has also been using her extensive knowledge to decrease menopausal symptoms - signifigantly fewer hot flashes and decreased mental fog. I am a RN, and was a bit skeptical at first, but I am officially impressed!! If you are considering an alternative to traditional Western medicine, just go! You will be happy with the results 😊

Paige is a true healer. Her knowledge of Chinese Medicine and skills with acupuncture helped my body heal after a high impact injury involving my neck. Her treatments were a great adjunct to frequency specific microcurrent and myofascial release that I was receiving from my occupational therapist. I bought a package treatment and have already used two of them for different reasons and they always help heal my body. I am a physical therapist by profession and yes, Paige is my Chinese medicine doctor!

Paige is so knowledgeable and professional. She has helped me with weightloss (I've lost 59 pounds!), managing my anxiety, pain, and digestive issues. She has extensive knowledge and answers any questions I have. She is kind and thoughtful. She definately has a passion for her work and helping people. Her office is welcoming and comfortable for treatment. If there was a 10 star rating, she earns it.

Professional, personable, and effective! Paige was a tremendous help to my teenage daughter with regards to regulating her monthly cycles. I so appreciated having this as a option! We hoped to avoid more invasive and medicated treatments, and thanks to Paige, we did!!! So thankful for Paige and all she has to offer our community!!
