Acupuncture Clinic Guillaume Levesque

Acupuncture

Acupuncture helps treat your pain by focusing treatment on the painful area, using one or more of the techniques and can also correct many problems such as fatigue, menopause, weight loss, infertility, fibromyalgia and depression.

Some people mistakenly believe that receiving treatment with needles is painful. Our practitioner, Guillaume Levesque, is determined to change this perception. Thanks to his training in acupuncture at the Cégep de Rosemont in Montreal, he will help you get back on your feet quickly!

Since acupuncture is a branch of traditional Chinese medicine, it takes into consideration the body as a whole. Indeed, she studies not only the symptoms of the disease but also the rest of the body. The acupuncturist establishes the links between the different symptoms presented by the patient and thus manages to solve several problems with a single series of personalized treatments.

Course of a treatment

During the first visit, the acupuncturist interviews the client in order to gather the information necessary for the clinical examination and allow him to choose the appropriate method of treatment. Then, chinese pulse taking is performed, followed by observation of the tongue and palpation of the affected area.
Generally longer than the others, this first session allows the acupuncturist to accurately assess all the patient's symptoms. The next step is the laying of the needles. In order to ensure maximum safety, disposable single-use needles are used. They are laid for a duration of 15 to 20 minutes.

The needles are thin and full, no substance is injected into the body. The impression of sting felt at the time of laying lasts only a fraction of a second, is barely noticeable and leaves no mark. After the needles are placed, the patient may sometimes feel a feeling of heaviness or a slight numbness. In general, after a first session at our acupuncture clinic, patients feel revitalized, calm and peaceful. The number of sessions depends on the severity of the problem, its progression and the patient's energy status.

After explaining the right procedure to follow regarding your follow-up, it will be your responsibility to manage the follow-up of your treatments.
