Supporting the Body’s Natural Response to Stress and Injury
Pain, muscle tension, and movement restrictions can affect daily comfort and performance. When symptoms persist, people often look for options that support recovery, such as acupuncture at Mt. Lehman Physiotherapy Clinic, which can help manage discomfort and improve how the body responds to movement. We offer acupuncture in Abbortsford, BC as part of a comprehensive physiotherapy plan that supports healing, function, and long-term movement health.
A Closer Look at Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a treatment that uses very thin, sterile needles placed at specific points in the body, which are selected based on symptoms, movement findings, and areas of muscle or nerve sensitivity. The goal of acupuncture is to influence how the nervous system and soft tissue respond to stress, load, and movement.
During an acupuncture session at Mt. Lehman Physiotherapy Clinic, your therapist will review symptoms, movement patterns, and goals before treatment. Needles are inserted gently and remain in place for a short period while you rest comfortably. Most people feel minimal sensation during treatment, and we closely monitor your response and adjust care based on comfort and progress.
Conditions That Can Benefit From Acupuncture
Acupuncture can support people managing a range of movement- and pain-related concerns.
We often use it as part of care for:
- Neck and back pain
- Shoulder, hip, or knee discomfort

- Ankle sprain
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Repetitive strain injuries.
How Acupuncture Can Be An Important Part of Your Physiotherapy Plan
Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points in muscles and connective tissue. Needle placement creates a local response that can influence blood flow, muscle tone, and nervous system activity, helping reduce excessive muscle tension and supporting more efficient movement.
This improved movement allows exercises and daily activities to feel more comfortable and controlled. Acupuncture also supports the nervous system by reducing sensitivity to pain signals. Our therapists often combine acupuncture with manual therapy and exercise, allowing short-term changes in tissue response to translate into lasting functional improvements. This integrated approach supports healing while encouraging active participation in recovery.
