Updated: Oct 8
Mandy Bishop, RMT is a graduate of the McMaster University Contemporary Medical Acupuncture Program, as well as a member of the Provincial Medical Acupuncture Association (PMAA), and looks forward to helping her clients with musculoskeletal pain, neurological pain, injury recovery and relaxation.
Medical acupuncture can be defined as the stimulation of the peripheral nervous system with acupuncture needles, with or without electrical stimulation, to induce reflex neuromodulatory responses (sensory, motor, or autonomic) for the therapeutic purposes of treating pain and dysfunction of the locomotor system, reversible problems of dysregulation or to contribute as an adjunctive support treatment in chronic or irreversible conditions.
The goals of medical acupuncture treatment are not to cure, but to provide clinical improvement measured in functional terms through neuromodulation and the activation of and facilitation of the body’s natural pain control and healing mechanisms.

Not all insurance plans cover Contemporary Medical Acupuncture, some plans only cover Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is the responsibility of the client to determine insurance eligibility prior to scheduling an appointment.
If direct billing is not eligible for your insurance coverage, clients are required to pay for their treatment in the clinic, and submit their claim to their insurance company directly. Coinsurance is determined by your insurance policy plan provisions, and not determined by the provider.
Discover our Contemporary Medical Acupuncture treatments including Electroacupuncture, Dry Needling, Facial Acupuncture and NeuroFunctional Acupuncture for pain relief, reduced muscle tension, injury recovery, stress relief, relaxation, and improved wellbeing. Book online today!
