About Us
At Core Med Acupuncture, we focus on supporting the body through the nervous system—where many modern health concerns begin.
As a home-based clinic, we provide a quiet and focused environment where care is tailored to each individual. Our approach emphasizes gentle, targeted treatments that help regulate stress responses, improve sleep quality, and support long-term recovery.
01
Structure
We assess posture, alignment, muscle tension, and movement patterns to better understand how the body is compensating.
02
Balance
Our approach looks at symmetry, coordination, nervous system regulation, and how the body maintains internal stability.
03
Function
Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we evaluate how your body moves, responds, and adapts over time.
04
Recovery
Recovery involves more than pain relief. We support circulation, regulation, sleep quality, and the body’s ability to heal effectively.
Our Philosophy
Beyond Symptoms
We Assess the Core
At Core Medical Acupuncture, we believe treatment should begin with understanding how the body functions as a whole. Rather than focusing only on isolated symptoms, we assess structure, balance, nervous system regulation, and recovery patterns before care begins. Our approach is calm, personalized, and guided by thoughtful assessment—not routine treatment.
The Right Care, in the Right Combination
Assessment-guided acupuncture care tailored to tension, pain, recovery, stress, and nervous system regulation.
Targeted cupping therapy designed to support circulation, tissue mobility, and muscular recovery.
Heat therapy used to relax tension, improve circulation, and enhance treatment effectiveness.
Hands-on treatment designed to support mobility, tissue response, posture, and recovery patterns.
Facial care that considers circulation, tension, posture, stress, and skin recovery together.
Assessment-based care designed to support pain recovery, mobility, nervous system regulation, and post-accident rehabilitation after ICBC injuries.
How Acupuncture Helps
Our treatments are designed to support the body’s natural ability to regulate and heal. By working with the nervous system, acupuncture can help reduce stress, improve circulation, and restore internal balance. Each session is personalized based on your condition, lifestyle, and long-term health goals.
Why Core?
Assessment first. Treatment second.
A thoughtful, assessment-based approach designed to understand the patterns behind symptoms before treatment begins.
