Expert Acupuncture and Dry Needling Practitioners
Registered Practitioners Who Speed Recovery in Wismer Commons
Tight, overworked muscle can hold a trigger point that limits training, and fine-needle techniques can release it directly from the first visit.
Recovery starts by finding the muscles and trigger points driving the tightness, because a stubborn knot often limits movement more than the athlete realises. Your practitioner uses acupuncture and dry needling to release those points, ease muscle tension, and support the body’s own recovery between sessions. Releasing the trigger point directly is what often frees up movement quickly for athletes. Simple recovery advice supports you between visits. Free parking sits at 6605 Highway 7.
- Multidisciplinary Team
Chiropractors, physiotherapists, and registered massage therapists collaborating under one roof, so your care is coordinated, not fragmented.
- Movement Based Approach
We assess how your body actually moves, then build a treatment plan that restores function from the foundation up. Kinetic. Core. Foundation.
“Release the trigger point directly, and free up the movement.”
A tight trigger point can quietly limit an athlete’s movement and slow recovery. Our Wismer Commons practitioners use acupuncture and dry needling to release those points, ease muscle tension, and support faster recovery. Treatment is matched to your sport and to how your body responds.

Our Customer Testimonials
Frequent Asked Questions
Can dry needling help a sports injury?
Yes, dry needling can release the trigger points and muscle tension that limit athletes and slow recovery. Fine needles target the tight tissue directly. Many athletes combine it with hands-on therapy and exercise for a faster return. Simple self-care advice supports you between visits.
What is the difference between acupuncture and dry needling?
Both use fine, sterile needles, but dry needling targets muscular trigger points while acupuncture follows traditional points. The two can overlap for musculoskeletal pain. Your practitioner chooses the approach that suits your injury. Every session is matched to how you feel that day.
Does dry needling hurt?
Dry needling is usually well tolerated, though releasing a trigger point can cause a brief twitch or ache. The needles are very fine. Your practitioner works within your comfort and adjusts the approach as needed. We talk through your goals first, then keep you comfortable throughout the visit.
How many acupuncture sessions will an athlete need?
It depends on the injury, from a short course for a fresh strain to regular sessions through a heavy training block. Many athletes notice a change within a few visits. We suggest a schedule around your season. We take a little time to understand your goals before we gently begin the treatment.
Is acupuncture covered by extended health benefits?
Acupuncture is covered by many extended health plans, though not by OHIP. Coverage depends on your plan and the practitioner’s credentials. We direct bill many insurers. To check your coverage before booking, contact us. We review your health history first, then match the approach to your goals.
Where is the clinic, and how do I get there from Wismer Commons?
Can acupuncture and physiotherapy be combined?
