Acupuncture.

Traditional Chinese Medicine meets modern clinical practice. Targeted treatment for headaches, migraines, chronic pain, stress, and whole-body wellness.

Our Approach

East meets
west.

At Move to Motion, our acupuncture practice blends Traditional Chinese Medicine with evidence-based western clinical knowledge. Our registered acupuncturists bring specialized expertise in treating headaches, migraines, chronic pain, stress, anxiety, and a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions through targeted acupuncture protocols refined over years of clinical experience.

TCM principles guide the treatment of energy balance, women’s health, and whole-body wellness, while western research informs precise point selection for conditions like tension headaches, nerve pain, and inflammatory disorders. This integrated approach means you get the best of both traditions — treating the root cause while providing immediate symptom relief. If you’re searching for acupuncture in Surrey or acupuncture near you, our Move to Motion physio and acupuncture clinic offers fully integrated care. We work closely with our physiotherapy and massage therapy teams to ensure your acupuncture care is part of a comprehensive, coordinated recovery plan.

Related Treatments

Complementary
therapies.

Acupuncture at Move to Motion is often combined with other modalities for the best possible outcomes. Your acupuncturist works alongside our physiotherapists, chiropractor, and massage therapists to create an integrated treatment plan.

Your Session

What to
expect.

Your first acupuncture session includes a comprehensive TCM assessment — your practitioner will ask about your symptoms, health history, sleep, digestion, and stress levels. Pulse and tongue diagnosis may be used alongside western clinical assessment to build a complete picture.

Treatment involves the insertion of hair-thin needles (0.20–0.25mm) at specific acupuncture points. Most patients feel little more than a faint tap — nothing like an injection or blood draw. Needles remain in place for 20–30 minutes while you rest in a calm, private treatment room. Sessions are deeply relaxing — many patients fall asleep. No referral is needed, most extended health plans cover acupuncture, and we direct bill to all major providers. Have more questions? Visit our FAQ page or read about insurance coverage.
