More Than Pain Relief
At ATP, acupuncture can be much more than a technique. Your treatment here involves modern protocols, but its real value is in how they are integrated over time. It is a thoughtful, responsive process, grounded in careful observation, learning, and meaningful change to support long-term function and vitality.
This approach blends modern clinical methods with experience and traditional insights tailored to your needs — whether you’re dealing with muscle or joint pain, headaches, or complex challenges like anxiety, digestion, fertility, or athletic performance. more
Your First Visits and Beyond
You first visits focus on understanding what’s going on, what you want to improve, and how your body responds to acupuncture. As things change, treatments are adjusted to optimize and support recovery, function or training, or ongoing health.
Some sessions are more hands-on and problem focused on pain or injury. Others focus more on supporting your nervous system and relaxation, using carefully selected acupuncture points that reduce the stress response. The approach remains practical, flexible, and guided by what’s working. Book Online
Meet Gord Grant (Ph.D., R.Ac.), Acupuncturist
I’m Gord Grant. I began my career in scientific research on honeybee diseases, then went on to become a full-time commercial beekeeper, before returning to research with a focus on food systems. Over the past two decades, I’ve brought these experiences together in my work as an acupuncturist.
I’m continually amazed by how our unique circumstances, choices and mindset shape our health and our lives. I draw from both science and from a life working closely with natural systems. In my practice, I help you restore strength, vitality, and trust as you move forward in your health. Gord’s Bio
Back Pain: Restoring Stability and Function
At ATP you get more more than temporary relief for back pain. The focus is not just to reduce pain, but to restore your core’s stability. This way you improve your functional strength and movement patterns.
This approach not only eases pain —it also supports long-term well-being, resilience, and more freedom and confidence in your body.
Restore stability and function, relief follows, and your body does the rest.
Anxiety and Depression: Regulating the Stress System
At the Acupuncture Turning Point, treatments help calm your body’s fight-or-flight response and settle an overactive stress system. When your nervous system is better regulated, it becomes easier to think clearly, sleep better, and make the changes that support your wellbeing. Treatment works well alongside counselling and other professional supports.
Acupuncture can help restore steadiness and resilience, so you can engage more fully with daily life. From a calmer foundation, challenges feel more workable, and your natural capacity for balance begins to return.
