Acupuncture in Northwest Edmonton
Acupuncture in Northwest Edmonton: Your Pain and Stress Solution
Acupuncture is one of the oldest healing practices in the world. It comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and works by stimulating specific points on the body using thin, sterile needles. These points lie along pathways called meridians, which are believed to regulate the flow of energy, or “qi,” throughout the body.
Scientific research confirms that acupuncture can:
- Increase circulation to targeted areas
- Reduce inflammation and swelling
- Stimulate the release of endorphins (natural painkillers)
- Promote hormonal balance
- Relieve tight muscles and stiffness
- Support nervous system regulation
As a result, it’s a powerful therapy for both physical and emotional health conditions.

What to Expect During Your Session
Your first visit includes a full consultation where we learn about your symptoms, history, and current wellness habits. Based on this, we create a focused treatment plan designed to target root causes—not just the symptoms.
During your acupuncture session, you’ll rest comfortably as your practitioner places hair-thin, single-use acupuncture needles at selected points. Most people feel little to no pain—just a warm or tingling sensation—and many find the experience calming.
Depending on your treatment needs, your session may also include:
- Cupping Therapy: suction to release muscle knots and boost circulation
- Gua Sha: scraping to encourage detoxification
- Electroacupuncture: mild electrical currents added to the needles
- Tuina: therapeutic Chinese massage techniques
- Hypnopuncture: combines guided relaxation with acupuncture
- Sound Healing: gentle sound frequencies to balance energy and emotions
Each session is customized to help your body return to a balanced, pain-free state.

Been taking acupuncture and sound healing treatment from Dr Natalie Jensen at Healing point. The experience is very relaxing and rejuvenated and I’m feeling much better and stress relieved. She has really good aura and techniques that helps with pain recovery, inflammation and emotional stability. Highly recommend this clinic for your health care.

Frequently Asked Questions About Acupuncture Treatments
Is acupuncture a safe therapy?
Yes. All needles are sterile and single-use. Treatments are performed by trained professionals with a deep understanding of safety protocols and anatomy, ensuring effective acupuncture therapy.
How many treatments do I need?
That depends on the issue being treated. Acute concerns may respond in a few sessions, while chronic or complex conditions often need ongoing care.
What does it feel like?
Most people describe a dull pressure, tingling, or warmth—very different from the feeling of an injection or sharp needle. Many people find the sessions deeply relaxing.
Can I combine acupuncture with other therapies?
Yes! Many clients benefit from combining acupuncture with massage therapy or manual osteopathy for enhanced health and well-being. While many people feel the benefits of acupuncture therapy right away, combining it with complimentary treatments like massage and cupping can improve your results.
Do you accept insurance?
Absolutely. We offer direct billing to most extended health plans—just bring your insurance information to your first visit.
