Acupuncture is a system of healing that has developed over the last 3000 years. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, there are 12 main and 8 secondary pathways on the human body called meridians which conduct the flow of energy, or chi (pronounced “chee”). These meridians connect over 2000 acupuncture points.

By stimulating these points, acupuncturists can balance the body, regulating the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of the body that are influenced by yin and yan—opposing forces that, when balanced, will work together with the unblocked flow of chi to help the body achieve and maintain optimum health.

At A New Leaf we use only stainless steel disposable needles so there is no risk of infection. The procedure is relatively painless, with small round tipped needles being inserted into various acupuncture point sites. A typical acupuncture appointment usually lasts about 20 minutes.

Injection therapies allow the precise delivery of medicines directly to the tissues that need it. Injection appointments are typically 5-minute visits where vitamins injections are inserted into your deltoid or glute muscle for quick and effective absorption into the bloodstream.

Pelvic and breast exams are an important component of female health care. Naturopathic doctors are trained to perform both cervical and breast exams (including pap testing) and the BC Cancer Agency ensures that pap tests are a free service. If you’ve had a bad experience in the past, or are nervous about your pap tests, book with your ND for a more gentle, informative approach.

Diet is a foundational aspect of health. As naturopathic doctors, we are thoroughly trained in nutrition and can help you determine your nutrient requirements (including calories, vitamins, minerals, and macronutrient counts) to optimize your diet and performance, as well as discuss the pros and cons of a specific diet (think: ketogenic, paleo, vegan or vegetarian) for you and your health needs.
