Acupuncture
Contemporary Medical Acupuncture is a precise peripheral nerve stimulation technique, in which acupuncture needles are inserted into anatomically defined neurofunctional sites, and stimulated manually or with electricity for the therapeutic purpose of modulating abnormal activity of the nervous system and/or the endocrine, exocrine and immune systems, in pain syndromes, functional problems, and any diseases in which these modulatory mechanisms are available.
Therapeutic goals and treatment targets are selected based on the identified neurological dysfunctions contributing to the clinical presentation of the symptoms. Sometimes Contemporary Medical Acupuncture treatments result in transient amelioration or disappearance of the symptoms, and other times results in permanent resolution of the dysfunction, especially when dysregulation of the nervous system was the underlying pathophysiological mechanism.

Dr. Curtis became a certified clinical acupuncture provider in 2014 from McMaster University, while attending Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. Acupuncture has been a great benefit in Dr. Curtis' practice for those who may suffer from osteoarthritis in the knees or hip, as well as those dealing with tennis or golfers elbow. Acupuncture has a holistic approach so Dr. Turner encourages all patients to inquire whether it's something that may benefit them!
