Acupuncture
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture involves inserting needles into the body to stimulate sensory nerves in the skin and muscles. This may help treat chronic pain and other physical conditions.
An acupuncturist will examine a person and assess their condition, insert one or more thin, sterile needles, and offer advice. Individuals will typically sit or lie down during the procedure. The acupuncturist should use single-use, disposable, sterile needles. People may feel a very brief stinging or tingling sensation upon needle insertion.
They may then experience a dull ache at the base of the needle. Typically, the needles will stay in place for 20–60 minutes, although this will vary depending on the procedure. In some practices, the acupuncturist will sometimes heat needles after insertion.
The number of treatments a person will need depends on their individual case. Someone with a chronic condition may need one or two treatments per week over several months. An acute health issue typically improves after 8–12 sessions.
Benefits of acupuncture include the following:
- People can effectively combine acupuncture with other treatments.
- Effective acupuncture can help manage chronic pain, migraine, and headaches.
- Acupuncture carries a low risk of side effects.
- It is a flexible form of treatment that can target numerous health concerns at once.
Chiropractic Care

The realm of health care is comprised of many different specializations, each one of which is designed to help patients address issues more accurately and effectively. Chiropractic care is one such avenue and may often be classified as an alternative or complementary treatment alongside more traditional methods like surgery or taking medications.
Our NE Calgary chiropractic clinic provides this service to anyone interested in receiving it. Call our team today to set up an appointment when it works best for you.

Counselling & Therapy
NE Calgary Counselling and Therapy
Therapy and counselling are two words that describe the same thing: sitting down and talking to a therapist. During these sessions, you can talk to your therapist about a wide range of matters that are going on in your life. They’ll work with you to help you feel more empowered and provide you with various strategies so you’re able to cope better too.
Attending a NE Calgary therapy session can be productive for your every day life as well as other situations you are going through. Anyone can seek advice from a counselor, no matter what they may be experiencing. After all, we can always improve ourselves for the better.
To find out more about this process, get in touch with our local clinic.
What Exactly is Therapy?
Therapy is short for psychotherapy. This is a means of care that focuses on helping patients face the challenges in their life. Emphasis is placed on the development and adoption of healthy strategies as opposed to self-harming behaviors.
The process of going to therapy is different for everyone because their needs are different. It’s important to keep in mind that participating in psychological therapy in NE is not easy. You’ll be encouraged to discuss difficult topics, revisit grievous events, and painful feelings for your therapist to understand you best.
Depending on their situation, there are several ways that you can go about attending therapy including individual sessions and group therapy. Everything that is said in such an environment remains confidential and won’t be shared with anyone.
If you have any questions prior to booking a NE Calgary therapy appointment, we encourage you to contact us today. And regarding your sessions, don’t hesitate to ask questions of your therapist and voice your opinions/how you feel. After all, therapy is all about YOU and helping YOU live better. A good therapist will not only support you, but they’ll be active listeners and make sure that, despite the inherent difficulty of opening up, the environment you’re in is safe and positive.
Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy in NE Calgary
Stress is certainly something that affects every single one of us and, unfortunately, it is not something that will ever go away.
But don’t let that get you down! Even though we can’t erase stress from our lives completely, there are many things we can do to help prevent it, improve our responses to it, and take care of our bodies so its physical effects aren’t so harmful.
One great method to consider is receiving a NE Calgary massage. A massage can help your body and mind relax, which in turn helps you stay healthy. At Stance Physio this includes thai massage, hot stone massage, cupping massage, and relaxation massage as options. For more information on this, get in touch with our team today.

Workers Compensation
Calgary Workers’ Compensation
Unlike certain healthcare appointments, such as dental cleanings or receiving a prescription from a doctor, coming in for chiropractic care is not typically a service that’s covered by health insurance plans.
Here at Stance Physio, we believe that everyone is entitled to health care that’s both effective and affordable. This is why all the services that we offer, including physical therapy and chiropractic treatments, are tailored to fit your needs, daily schedule, and budget.
For more information about the financial health assistance we provide, including workers’ compensation in Calgary, please contact our team today.
What is Workers’ Compensation?
When you’re injured at work, you are entitled to workers’ compensation. Known more colloquially as “workers comp”, this is a form of insurance that employers must extend to their employees. In fact, it is a law enforced by the federal government.
Calgary workers’ compensation is obtained from a private insurance company. Each job sector like business, oil and gas, and the medical field, usually has its own unique package of benefits that they offer employees.
To extend on that point, a variety of benefits are available to injured workers, though it is dependent on their situation. These benefits can include:
- Replacing lost salary.
- Paying for health care costs.
- Physiotherapy and rehabilitation
- Legal protection.
With this said, there are a few things that you should keep in mind. Firstly, workers’ compensation is not equivalent to unemployment or disability insurance. Also, if you are injured and decide to take advantage of workers’ compensation, this means that you are waiving your right to sue your employer.
Have questions about obtaining workers’ compensation near you? Get in touch with your insurance provider when you can. Knowing what you’re eligible for prior to receiving care will save you a lot of headaches and worry.
Dry Needling in Calgary
Although dry needling may not be a process that a lot of people are familiar with, most of us are familiar with acupuncture, which is similar but not identical.
Dry needling is performed by a licensed physical therapist (PT) to help ease discomfort and pain in your muscles. Certain points in your neuro-musculoskeletal system are targeted to increase blood flow and reduce pain and stiffness.
For more information about receiving dry needling near you, reach out to our community clinic; our staff is here to assist you with all your questions and concerns.
How Does It Work?
Dry needling is quite a straightforward process. Extremely thin needles made are injected into specific areas in your body. These points are also known as “trigger points” because when they are disturbed, they will cause your body to react – in this case, it causes your muscles to relax. In turn, this alleviates pain and increases your body’s range of motion. This unique treatment is often performed in conjunction with other forms of physical therapy to ensure that you’re able to recover quickly and properly.
