At the Acupuncture Turning Point, traditional acupuncture is integrated with a modern, practical, evidence-informed approach focused on how you feel and function. This work is not meant to replace medicine, but to complement it — supporting pain relief, function and overall wellbeing. 

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.

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.

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. 

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.

At ATP, we tailor treatments to regulate your body’s overactive fight-or-flight stress system.  When your nervous system is better regulated, all your vital systems work better.  It becomes easier to think clearly, sleep better, and make the compassionate 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 and self-care begins to return.
