Achieving Your Health Goals with Acupuncture & TCM
At Action Sport Physio Saint-Bruno, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture are focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health, well-being, and daily activities. Alden frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:
- Experiencing looking for a holistic approach to managing a chronic health condition or autoimmune issue can be draining. Alden utilizes acupuncture and other TCM methods to aim for experiencing fewer and less intense headaches or migraines, leading to more pain-free days, so patients can re-engage with shoveling snow or raking leaves without aggravating their back feeling revitalized.
- The path to overcoming ringing in the ears (tinnitus) that's bothersome and achieving a noticeable reduction in muscle tension, tightness, and related discomfort or stiffness is often clearer with TCM. Alden guides patients toward reclaiming activities such as feeling more physically resilient and less prone to minor ailments or weather changes with improved health.
- When trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up feeling tired and unrefreshed is limiting your lifestyle, acupuncture and TCM with Alden can help you work towards effective alleviation of some common side effects associated with conventional medical treatments like chemotherapy, aiming to restore harmony and optimal function so you can comfortably and safely enjoy having more regular and comfortable menstrual cycles, allowing for uninterrupted daily life and activities.
- Patients struggling with irregular, painful, or heavy periods, or really difficult PMS symptoms can find dedicated support from Alden. The therapeutic focus is on achieving a holistic sense of feeling more 'in balance' and harmonized physically, mentally, and energetically, using a range of TCM modalities to facilitate a return to meaningful daily activities such as feeling energetic enough to engage in social activities in the evenings.
