Testimonials
"I recently moved to Victoria and needed a new acupuncturist. I'm so pleased that I found Sabrina, and the Vitality Treatment Centre! Sabrina takes lots of time before each treatment to ask questions about your overall health and tailor your treatment to your needs. She checks in throughout to make sure everything feels ok and is clearly passionate about what she does.I also really like how she follows up the day after to check in. Great acupuncturist and clinic all around!" G. Tardif
"Thought if let you know my toes have been much improved since my treatment! You're a super therapist! I admit to be a skeptic to start and now I'm a complete convert. It really does work. Thank you." A. Gilham
"I started seeing Sabrina Lundquist in December 2015 and I have had four sessions. The treatment is very relaxing and I feel totally safe and comfortable in Sabrina’s care. I feel rejuvenated and re-energized after each session. It’s all been very positive." – Linda Nicoll

Acupuncture, what's the point?
Although North Americans typically save acupuncture for chronic health concerns, acupuncture works very well for acute issues. For example, the very fine needles allow acupuncturists to directly stimulate the shoulder capsule in frozen shoulder and tiny muscles near the spine. The needles can also be used near inflamed areas that would usually be too sore to manipulate.
Traditional Chinese Medicine recognizes that a health condition is rarely just one symptom. For example, a migraine occurs in the head but also can affect blood circulation in the whole body, digestion, neurological processing of light, sound and smells. During an acupuncture treatment the health history is examined for patterns to relieve not only the main complaint but also to reduce the chance of it returning.
Acupuncture is an effective way to get drug free relief from a large range of issues including allergies, headaches, digestive issues, hormone imbalances, repetitive strain disorders and mental-emotional disorders. Call or book online if you want to try a different approach to boosting your health.
Acupuncture is recognized by the Medical Services Plan of BC ($23/visit for up to 10 visits for lower income families) and most Extended Health Insurance plans. More about who is covered can be found here: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/health/health-drug-coverage/msp/bc-residents/benefits/services-covered-by-msp/supplementary-benefits
Acupuncture is only one aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine. During a visit, other traditional therapies may include cupping, gently scraping the skin, herbal ointments, heat therapy, food choice modifications and sleep/exercise suggestions. Mild electrical stimulation of the acupuncture points (similar to TENS machines at a physiotherapy office) are sometimes used to reduce muscle tension and more strongly activate points without pain.
