In January of 2008 Acupuncture Health Centre moved from its old location on 99 St. to its new location in the Strathcona Business Park at #126 - 9704 39 AVE. If you have not been to our new office, it is a much bigger and quieter space. We have five treatment rooms in order to accommodate more patients. Currently there are two acupuncturists: Chris Hogan and Amanda Roth. Both are registered acupuncturists in the province of Alberta.  Amanda Roth is also a Registered Massage Therapist. 

Acupuncture comes from a complete system of medicine and healing known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). TCM has been practiced for over 5,000 years and has been selected by the World Health Organization for worldwide propagation to meet the health care needs of people around the world into the 21st century. Acupuncture is one of 4 bodies which make up Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the others including Moxabustion, Tui Na Chinese Massage and Chinese Herbal Medicinals. Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine, sterile needles into specific points to promote healing and stop pain. In Chinese Medicine, acupuncture helps to active "Qi" or the body's energy to harmonize and optimize the functions of the internal organs and the entire body.
