At Acupuncture Care Holistic Center, we combine over 20 years of Traditional Chinese Medicine expertise with modern assessment techniques. From gentle acupuncture and traditional fire cupping to AcuGraphic digital meridian imaging, our Sherwood Park clinic provides personalized, root-cause treatments tailored to restore your overall health and balance.

The initial assessment is a 45 minute one on one appointment with one of our experienced acupuncture practitioners. During this time we will go over your full medical history, run a meridian based testing, complete a full traditional Chinese medical diagnosis and create a completely individualized treatment plan based on your needs

Cupping Therapy

The process involves placing thick, specialized glass cups onto targeted areas of the body. In TCM theory, pain and illness stem from stagnation, where the body's vital energy (Qi) and blood become sluggish or blocked. The suction helps break up this congestion, clear deep-seated cold or dampness, and restore a smooth flow through the body's energy channels. Modern physiology views the benefits through tissue release and circulation. The negative pressure causes localized vasodilation pulling fresh, oxygenated blood into tight muscle tissues while stretching stiff connective tissue . This targeted strain triggers a mild, localized inflammatory response that activates immune cells and aids the lymphatic system in clearing metabolic waste.

acugraphic testing

Acugraphic testing is a non-invasive diagnostic tool used to visually measure and analyze the flow of energy (Qi) throughout the body. By reading the electrical skin resistance at specific endpoints along the body, specialized software calculates the electrical conductance of your primary meridian channels and translates the raw data into a clear, color-coded bar chart. These visual results highlight where your body's energy pathways are balanced, deficient, or overactive, giving the practitioner an objective baseline to design tailored treatment plans and visually track your progress over time.

IOnic Cleanses

Ionic cleanses are wellness treatments designed to pull toxins out of the body through the skin using electrically charged water and promote the re-circulation of static blood. During a typical 30-minute session, a tub is filled with warm salt water and equipped with a low-voltage ionizing array that sends an electric current through the bath. This charge attracts oppositely charged heavy metals and impurities, drawing them out through the pores in your feet while turning the water a dark, murky brown.

Acupuncture Follow Up

Acupuncture follow up appointments are a 30-45 minute appointment in which one of our practitioners will treat a condition by inserting several small sterile single use needles into specific acu-points along the body in order to encourage healing, reduce swelling / inflammation and relieve pain that may be cause by numerous different conditions

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is the manual manipulation of the body's soft tissues including muscles, connective tissues, tendons, and ligaments to enhance health and well-being. Our practitioners use varying degrees of pressure and movement, ranging from gentle, rhythmic strokes to firm, targeted deep-tissue manipulation. Whether used as a recovery tool for physical rehabilitation, or simply a way to relax, massage therapy promotes both physical healing and mental wellness.

Our practitioners are well versed in the many types of plants and herbs that are used to treat thousands of different conditions such as nerve pain, gastrointestinal irregularities, fertility and hormone imbalance and many many more
