Eugénie Francoeur provides skilled Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine care for a variety of health concerns, including but not limited to:

Mental Emotional Sleep

  • Depression, Low Mood & Mood Swings (Supportive TCM Care): Holistic care aimed at supporting emotional balance, uplifting mood, increasing motivation, and enhancing overall mental well-being as part of an integrative mental health strategy.
  • Insomnia & Various Sleep Disorders (e.g., Difficulty Falling/Staying Asleep, Dream-Disturbed Sleep): Restoring healthy, restorative sleep patterns and improving overall sleep quality naturally through TCM interventions, without the side effects of sleep medications.
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Support (TCM): Addressing TCM patterns often associated with trauma, such as Heart Shen disturbance, Liver Qi Stagnation, or Kidney Jing depletion.

Digestive Gastrointestinal

  • Acid Reflux (GERD), Heartburn & Indigestion (Dyspepsia): Traditional Chinese Medicine treatments, including acupuncture and specific herbal formulas, to address symptoms of heartburn, acid regurgitation, belching, and indigestion by strengthening Spleen Qi, ensuring the proper downward flow of rebellious Stomach Qi, and clearing any Stomach Heat or Food Stagnation.
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Bloating, Gas & Functional Digestive Upset: Holistic approach to calming an irritable gut and improving overall digestive health and comfort using personalized TCM treatments.

This list offers examples of conditions commonly addressed. TCM diagnosis is based on individual patterns, so if your specific concern isn't listed, please contact the clinic. Eugénie can assess your needs.

  • Cupping Therapy (Fire Cupping, Sliding Cupping, Stationary Cupping): Application of glass, bamboo, or silicone cups to the skin to create suction (often via heat/fire for glass cups, or a pump for others). This technique helps to relieve muscle tension, improve blood and Qi flow, reduce local inflammation, release toxins, open pores, and treat respiratory conditions or musculoskeletal pain.
  • TCM Observation & Palpation Diagnosis: Careful observation of your complexion, eyes, hair, nails, posture, and demeanor, combined with palpation of specific body areas or meridians to detect tenderness, temperature changes, or energetic blockages.
  • Gua Sha (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization - TCM): A therapeutic technique involving the gentle but firm scraping of lubricated skin with a smooth-edged tool (e.g., jade, horn, ceramic spoon) to stimulate microcirculation of the soft tissue, which releases muscle tension, breaks down adhesions and scar tissue, reduces pain and inflammation, and promotes healing and detoxification by releasing 'Sha' (stagnant blood and metabolic waste).
  • Acupressure & Meridian Therapy: Targeting key energy points on the body with precise pressure to alleviate symptoms, support organ function, and enhance overall well-being.
  • Comprehensive TCM Health Assessment & Pattern Diagnosis: A detailed initial consultation involving an in-depth discussion of your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, emotional state, and a traditional TCM diagnostic assessment (palpation, observation, listening/smelling, pulse, and tongue diagnosis) to identify your unique TCM pattern of disharmony.
  • Moxibustion (Moxa Therapy): Gentle and penetrating heat therapy with mugwort to strengthen the body's vital energy, improve circulation, turn breech babies (when applied to a specific point), and relieve chronic pain or fatigue.
  • TCM Pulse Diagnosis (Sphygmology): Skilled palpation of the radial artery pulse at three positions and three depths on each wrist to assess the quality, strength, rhythm, and rate, reflecting the health and balance of Qi and Blood in the twelve major organ systems.

Note: This list highlights some key services. For a full list of therapies offered by Eugénie, or to discuss your specific needs, please contact the clinic.

All services are provided in accordance with the scope of practice for Registered Acupuncturists in QC and the standards set by The Ordre des acupuncteurs du Québec.

At Clinique Francoeur, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture are focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health, well-being, and daily activities. Eugénie frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

  • Many find that TCM with Eugénie not only helps with frequent headaches or intense migraines disrupting my life but also brings about enjoying consistently more restful, deeper, and restorative sleep patterns, waking up refreshed, allowing for a more fulfilling engagement in handling their job that involves frequent standing, walking, or bending with better ease.
  • Eugénie frequently assists patients in overcoming that nagging back pain that just won't go away using TCM principles. A carefully designed treatment plan, targeting better regulation of body temperature, feeling less prone to being overly cold or hot, supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like engaging in mindful practices with a calmer and more centered state of mind.
  • The path to overcoming my child having frequent illnesses, digestive issues, or skin problems and achieving a significant reduction in allergy symptoms (sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes) and less reliance on allergy medications is often clearer with TCM. Eugénie guides patients toward reclaiming activities such as participating in activities like yoga or meditation with greater ease, comfort, and deeper relaxation with improved health.
  • It's rewarding for Eugénie to witness patients find relief from uncomfortable menopause symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, or mood changes and experience an enhanced overall quality of life and a greater capacity to enjoy daily activities and social engagements through TCM. A tailored approach can make a significant difference in your ability to participate in maintaining their balance and stability while walking on uneven ground or trails again.

Your personalized TCM treatment plan, developed with Eugénie, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives using a holistic and time-tested approach.

Are Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine services covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
Les services d’acupuncture et de médecine traditionnelle chinoise fournis par un(e) acupuncteur(trice) enregistré(e) (R.Ac) ou un(e) praticien(ne) en TCM enregistré(e) (R.TCMP) dans une clinique privée ne sont généralement pas couverts par la Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ). La majorité des patients paient donc de leur poche. Il est fortement conseillé de vérifier si votre assurance privée ou complémentaire couvre ces services, car le niveau de couverture varie considérablement.
Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Registered Acupuncturist in QC?
En général, au Québec, il est possible de consulter directement un(e) acupuncteur(trice) enregistré(e) sans avoir besoin d’une recommandation médicale préalable (accès direct). Cependant, il est important de noter que, même si la loi ne l’exige pas, certaines assurances privées ou complémentaires peuvent exiger une recommandation pour le remboursement. Il est donc recommandé de vérifier les conditions de votre police d’assurance individuelle.
What is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and how can a Registered Acupuncturist help?
La médecine traditionnelle chinoise est une approche holistique de la santé basée sur des principes anciens. Un(e) acupuncteur(trice) enregistré(e) évaluera votre état général de santé, en recherchant des déséquilibres selon la théorie de la TCM (souvent via un diagnostic de la langue et du pouls). Le traitement peut inclure l’acupuncture, des formules herbales personnalisées (si pratique en tant que R.TCMP), la ventouse, la moxibustion, ainsi que des recommandations diététiques et de mode de vie pour restaurer l’équilibre naturel de votre corps et favoriser la guérison.
Does acupuncture hurt? Are the needles safe?
Pour la majorité des personnes, l’acupuncture n’est pas douloureuse. Les aiguilles utilisées sont très fines, et beaucoup ressentent peu ou pas de sensation lors de leur insertion. Certaines sensations courantes incluent une légère piqûre initiale, suivie d’une sensation de lourdeur, de chaleur, de picotements ou d’une sensation de plénitude autour du site de l’aiguille, ce qui indique généralement que le traitement stimule efficacement le Qi. Les praticiens sont formés pour pratiquer une technique d’aiguillage sécuritaire et utilisent exclusivement des aiguilles stériles et à usage unique pour assurer votre sécurité. Si vous ressentez une douleur notable, informez votre praticien immédiatement.
What are Qi and Meridians in TCM?
Dans la médecine traditionnelle chinoise, **Qi** (prononcé 'chee') est souvent traduit par 'énergie vitale' ou 'force de vie'. C’est l’énergie fondamentale qui circule dans tout le corps, responsable de tous les processus physiologiques, du mouvement, de la chaleur et de la protection contre la maladie. Les **méridiens** sont des voies spécifiques par lesquelles le Qi et le sang circulent, reliant les organes internes aux parties externes du corps telles que muscles, peau et organes sensoriels. Les points d’acupuncture sont situés le long de ces méridiens, permettant d’accéder et d’influencer la circulation du Qi pour rétablir l’équilibre et la santé.
What is Acupuncture and how can it help me?
L’acupuncture, pratiquée par un(e) acupuncteur(trice) qualifié(e), consiste à insérer de très fines aiguilles à des points précis du corps dans le but de rétablir l’harmonie de l’énergie vitale. Selon la médecine traditionnelle chinoise, cette technique peut aider à soulager divers troubles, notamment la douleur (mal de dos, migraines), le stress, les troubles digestifs, les problèmes menstruels, et bien plus encore, en activant les mécanismes naturels de guérison du corps.
