Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture - the oldest practicing medicine in the world. It's natural, it's safe and it's effective. What can it treat and is it right for you? All of the practitioners at Family Acupuncture are registered and licensed acupuncturists and CMAAC members. My wife and I have been trying to conceive for 6 years.
After finally getting in to Heartland Fertility Clinic and undergoing testing, we discovered that the issue was due to a genetic disorder that affected the quality of my sperm. Heartland told me that I would never be able to conceive naturally. You can imagine the devastation that I felt for myself and my wife.

Almost one in six couples experience fertility problems. If you are experiencing difficulties getting pregnant, it is important that the male partner get his sperm checked. Sperm problems may involve the quantity and/or quality of the sperm. A simple semen analysis can assess basic fertility. This simply involves asking your family doctor for a test requisition and taking a sperm sample to a local lab for testing.
The reduction of pain by stimulating the release of endorphins is a trademark of acupuncture treatments. Acupuncture is highly effective because releasing endorphins lowers the pain responses of the nervous system. As a result, treatments will boost circulation, easing uncomfortable muscle swelling and inflammation.

Claire and her team have all helped me and I am so grateful. I was diagnosed with PCOS and they have helped me get a regular menstrual cycle for fertility. Acupuncture has also helped me with my mental and physical health when I have needed it most. This really is an essential health service for so many - thank you all for all that you do for your community!

Rebecca Sprintz has changed my life, literally! Before I saw her, I had 6 episodes of dizziness daily that brought me to the ground. Now, I have none. I was trepidatious about getting acupuncture because I knew little about it, but Rebbeca's warm manner and expertise put me at ease immediately. After 4 sessions, I feel like a completely different person. I would recommend her and her associates whole heartedly.

5 years ago I went to Claire for Accupuncture to see if it would help with my severe allergies. After two sessions it had cleared up my symptoms at least 75%! I was amazed and thrilled as nothing else had been working and I was tired of using so many allergy pills for the little effect they were having. After seeing her for 10 sessions my allergies were kept in check for 2 years before I had to go back! (And only a few times in the spring.) I tried a couple places closer to me after we moved but ended up going back to her. She is nice, patient, and knowledgeable, well worth the small amount of

I can not believe it has taken me this long to write a review but better late then never. Rebecca was recommended to me by a friend as we were struggling with infertility. I have been seeing her for a year and half. I was a bit skeptical at first but at that point so desperate I decided to try. Rebecca has become so much more than just an acupuncturist for me, she is my support system and the first person I think of whenever my body is not balanced. She first helped me with reducing my cycle length from 35 to 30 days, she helped me deal with the emotional toll that infertility takes on you, she

I can’t believe it worked!!! THANK YOU Sharae Mendoza for giving me acupuncture to induce labour. I was at the end of my second pregnancy... and at the end of my rope. I was so big, so uncomfortable, so tired, and still trying to keep up with my toddler. I was beyond anxious for baby to arrive and would have done anything to induce labour. Family Acupuncture Wellness Clinic was recommended to me by a friend whose sister in law had gone here and successfully induced labour. So I had to give it a go! I got acupuncture on Apr 5th, contractions started on Apr 6th, and my healthy baby girl was born

I never thought that needles work. My Mom was suffering from Trigeminal neuralgia from 1.5 year and she was on really strong dose of Lyrica to help with pain. Even missing a pill for 30 mins would put her in so much pain that she can't eat or open her mouth, with medication it was hard for her to brush or touch her face. I was seeing Rebecca for my own problem I felt better and ask my mom to see Rebecca once. She agreed for acupuncture and after 2 treatments, she started skipping medicine and after 3 she stopped and now its been 3 weeks no medication at all, no pain. Thanks to Rebecca for making

Went for my first appointment yesterday. I had some experience with acu through Physiotherapy. This was my experience.
Quick backstory I am a VP, work 6 days a week, am executive director of a charity, and any down time I get is planning my wedding, and renovating my cottage where we are hosting this wedding. I've also always struggled with OCD, lately to the point of not being able to watch what I want on Netflix, not able to decide what I eat, and unable to pick what I wear, everything is predetermined by a compulsion. Plus due to anxiety and OCD it has been taking me 1, 2, sometimes even 3

I have just spent 4 days sitting in a car for 8 hours a day. The first morning after I arrived back in Winnipeg I was sitting having my coffee in my comfy chair when after 20 minutes I suddenly felt my lower back just give!! I thought, thank goodness I had booked an appointment with my wonderful Acupuncturist Dr Rebecca before I went on holiday!! I saw her later that morning and now one day after that treatment and heating pads and hot baths I am feeling 90% better!! Admittedly, I was lucky to see her so soon after my back gave out as it hadn't had time to set in before treatment. I can highly

This is a place of healing! Everyone there is so kind, passionate, knowledgeable and considerate. They care so much about your well being and goals and are genuinely happy when you achieve them. They were a great help for me for some considerable travel anxiety as well as headaches. I recommend them to anyone and everyone!!

I have been going to see Rebecca since October of this year. I was suffering from extreme sinus pressure/pain and mirgraines and wasn't experiencing any relief until I went for acupuncture. I have been going almost once a week since then and I cannot believe how good I feel. I have experienced little to no headaches and sinus pressure/pain since seeing Rebecca. It is amazing how much better I feel! She is truly amazing and I recommend her to anyone that I know who suffers from headaches or sinus pain.

I am a huge advocate for acupuncture, specifically at Family Acupuncture. Rebecca has helped me in so many ways! Most recently, I was experiencing sciatic nerve pain during pregnancy; one treatment session and I have not had any sciatic nerve pain since! I am amazed!! Thank you so much for your help and support over the years. I will continue to be committed because I know that I am in good hands.
