Acupuncture & Electroacupuncture in Markham

Fast, effective relief for chronic pain. Book your assessment today.

A Personalized Approach to Acupuncture

Looking for acupuncture in Markham or Unionville? At Form & Function, acupuncture treatments are personalized around your symptoms, health history and goals rather than using the same treatment for every patient.

Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture uses very fine, sterile, single-use needles placed at carefully selected points on the body. Depending on your needs, your practitioner may also incorporate electroacupuncture, where a gentle electrical stimulation is applied between selected acupuncture needles.

Some patients visit us primarily for pain or muscle tension, while others are looking for support with stress, sleep, women’s health or recovery alongside their existing healthcare plan.

What Can Acupuncture Be Used For?

What Is Electroacupuncture?

Electroacupuncture combines traditional acupuncture needle placement with gentle, controlled electrical stimulation.

It is often incorporated when treating musculoskeletal pain, muscle tension or certain rehabilitation concerns because the intensity and frequency of stimulation can be adjusted to the individual patient.

Treatment should feel controlled and comfortable. Your practitioner will explain the technique before beginning.

Frequently Asked Questions (Faqs)

Q1:What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a holistic form of medicine used for centuries. At Form & Function, we practice Medical Acupuncture, which respects modern anatomy and the physiology of pain while incorporating the classical Chinese philosophy of "Qi" (energy circulation). This method encourages your body to promote natural healing and restore health.

Q2:Is Acupuncture Scientifically Effective?

Yes. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized the effectiveness of acupuncture in treating many conditions, including acute injuries, arthritis, digestive disorders, respiratory issues, and headaches. Our Contemporary Medical Acupuncture is a scientific refinement designed specifically to treat pain conditions and sports injuries.

Q3: Is Acupuncture Covered By Insurance?

Most insurance policies cover acupuncture. It is often covered on its own, or it may fall under Naturopathic Medicine, Physiotherapy, or Chiropractic coverage depending on your specific plan.

Q4: What makes Form & Function different from other clinics?

We prioritize quality over quantity. You get one-on-one attention (no double-booking), access to a 30,000 sqft gym (Unionville Athletic Club) for rehab, and advanced technology like Shockwave & Ultrasound.

My daughter pulled a muscle that was bothering her for weeks and stopping her doing stuff

When she was done, she felt great and caught up on a bunch of stuff.

I go there for massages. It loosens me up when I can’t move very much. They know what they are doing.

Came into Form and Function with stiff shoulder and neck. I was lucky to get an appointment with Afshin who was extremely helpful and professional. After about three treatments my neck and shoulders are feeling much better. Highly recommend this physiotherapy!

I went with a bad catch in my neck and was so lucky to get appointments. The session was so useful and relieved me from pain. I had struggled for 3 days with unbearable pain in my neck. The massage helped me with my posture and stretch my neck. I am so happy with their service, very polite, professional and experts at their job.

After dealing with a nagging groin injury for what feels like forever, I decided to give Form & Function a shot. And boy, am I glad I did! This place has been a game-changer. The personalized program they put together for me has been way more effective than any physio I've tried in the past. Seriously, if you're struggling with a long-term injury like mine, give Form & Function a try. You won't regret it.

I had an amazing and relaxing massage with RMT Ada today. My tight and tensed back muscles are relaxed now. I booked my next session with her immediately after so I wouldn’t have a longer wait time.
