How Does Acupuncture Work?
Restoring Qi Flow & Natural Healing Through Targeted Meridian Stimulation
Acupuncture is a core pillar of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) —
practiced for over 2,500 years and now widely recognized and supported
by modern medical research worldwide.
The foundational principle of acupuncture is that vital energy — known
as Qi (pronounced “chee”) — flows through the body along specific
pathways called meridians. When this flow becomes blocked, disrupted,
or imbalanced, physical and emotional symptoms arise — including pain,
fatigue, stress, and illness.
Benefits of Acupuncture Treatment in Mississauga
Clinically Supported Benefits for Both Body & Mind
-
Effective Chronic Pain Relief:
Acupuncture is one of the most widely researched and clinically validated natural treatments for chronic pain. At Royal Touch Medi Spa in Mississauga, we use targeted needling to reduce lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder tension, knee pain, sciatica, arthritis discomfort, and sports injuries — often providing relief that outlasts medication-based approaches. -
Stress, Anxiety & Emotional Balance:
Acupuncture activates the parasympathetic nervous system — your body's built-in stress recovery system — reducing cortisol (the primary stress hormone) and triggering the release of serotonin and endorphins. Clients consistently report feeling deeply calm, emotionally balanced, and mentally clear following their sessions. -
Improved Sleep Quality & Insomnia Relief:
By regulating the nervous system and reducing anxiety levels, regular acupuncture treatments significantly improve sleep quality for many clients — helping them fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up genuinely refreshed.

Frequently Asked Questions — Acupuncture Treatment in Mississauga
Everything You Need to Know Before Your First Acupuncture Session at RTM Spa
Answer: Yes — many extended health insurance plans in Ontario cover acupuncture
treatments when performed by a practitioner certified and registered with
the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and
Acupuncturists of Ontario (CTCMPAO).
At Royal Touch Medi Spa in Mississauga, our acupuncturists are CTCMPAO
registered and we provide official acupuncture receipts for all sessions.
We recommend calling your insurance provider before your first appointment
to confirm your specific acupuncture benefit amount and any visit limits
within your plan year.
Answer: Acupuncture is generally not painful — most clients are pleasantly
surprised by how comfortable the experience is. The needles used are
extremely fine (much thinner than a standard injection needle), and
insertion is typically felt as a brief, barely perceptible sensation.
You may feel a slight tingling, warmth, heaviness, or gentle aching
sensation around the needle site as Qi begins to move — these are
normal therapeutic responses that indicate the treatment is working.
The majority of clients find the needle retention phase deeply relaxing
and often drift into a light, peaceful sleep during their session.
Answer: Acupuncture is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) — the
principle that vital energy (Qi) flows through the body along 14 main
meridian pathways. When this flow is disrupted, physical and emotional
symptoms emerge.
By inserting fine, sterile needles into specific acupuncture points,
practitioners stimulate the nervous system, trigger endorphin release,
increase local blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and activate
the body’s natural self-healing mechanisms. Modern research supports
acupuncture’s effectiveness for pain, stress, sleep, and other conditions
through these measurable physiological effects.
Answer: Acupuncture is clinically supported for a broad range of conditions
including chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, tension headaches
and migraines, sciatica, sports and workplace injuries, stress and anxiety,
insomnia, IBS and digestive issues, hormonal imbalance, fertility support
(natural and IVF-assisted), menstrual irregularities, fatigue and low energy,
immune system support, and post-surgical recovery.
During your initial consultation at Royal Touch Medi Spa, your practitioner
will discuss your specific health history and determine whether acupuncture
is appropriate and beneficial for your condition.
Answer: The number of sessions needed varies depending on your condition,
its severity, and how your body responds to treatment.
For acute conditions (such as a recent injury or mild stress),
many clients notice significant improvement within 1 to 3 sessions.
For chronic or longstanding conditions (such as ongoing back pain,
anxiety, or hormonal issues), a course of 6 to 10 sessions is
typically recommended initially, followed by periodic maintenance
sessions to sustain results.
Your practitioner will provide a personalized treatment plan and
realistic outcome timeline during your first visit at our
Mississauga location.
