About the business:

The Okanagan Acupuncture Centre in downtown Kelowna is a trusted address for first class acupuncture. If you are suffering from any ailment and have tried many different options, acupuncture might be your solution. Acupuncture mobilizes the energy within you and helps you heal yourself. Acupuncture strengthens your immune system by using small needles placed on different parts of your body. These needles will stimulate your nervous system and will help your brain to release chemicals like endorphins, muscle relaxants, anti inflammatories and others. Many chemicals needed to heal are made by the body itself and acupuncture helps them to come forward.

At the Okanagan Acupuncture Centre we only use new disposable needles. Acupuncture has very little side-effects and hardly any contraindications.
