I had an excellent experience at Peak Health. Everyone was very pleasant and professional. I would definitely recommend Alyssa as she helped me regain significant movement in my shoulder after an accident. Hopefully I don’t get into anymore accidents, but if I do, I know where I’m going to get it dealt with.

Everyone at Peak is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Can't think of a better place to go for help. My experience with both chiropractic and massage have been first rate. Would recommend them to anyone who needs these services! Many thanks!

- Fran Wilkin

I have been working with Sydney since she was still a student, and she is an incredibly skilled massage therapist. Her commitment to teaching her clients, setting clear boundaries/expectations and her communication style is such an important aspect of her therapeutic relationship with clients. I think you could get a great massage with many therapists, but Sydney really teaches you what your body has been doing, how to rehabilitate it, and helps to open up tight muscles you didn’t even know you had!

Dr. Claire Wells is amazing - she is so knowledgeable and really takes time with her treatments. Would highly recommend!

- Emma Mangialardi

Every aspect of this clinic shouts excellence. Clean, comfortable waiting room, efficient friendly front desk staff and knowledgeable effective practitioners. I recommend this clinic to anyone looking to move and feel better.

- Scott A.

This is the best clinic I have ever attended. I’ve attended for both chiro and RMT and both practitioners have been great! Even the girls at the reception desk are always smiling, helpful and happy to chat or help out. I refer everyone I know! If you need Chiro or RMT, you must go here!

- Mike B.

From the moment I walked through the door I was greeted by kind, friendly staff. I've had the pleasure of working with Chiropractic, physiotherapy and massage. Each are excellent and they care about your health. Never once have I felt like I was rushed out the door, or just a number. If you are looking for knowledgable and caring staff, I highly recommend you give Peak Health a try!

- Andrew Robinson

I've been going here for a few months and I am obsessed! It's so friendly, refreshing, and I leave there full of joy. There are slippers when you walk in, the layout is unique, the massage is incredible! RMT Syndey has healing hands and the knowledge and follow up she provides has helped me so much. I am grateful to have found Peak Health and Performance.

- Megan Coben

Every time I have a nagging injury I visit Peak. Their therapists are so talented and committed to getting me back to doing what I love. They actually fix the issue and aren’t there just to make money and have you repeat visits. So impressed and so happy with this facility.

- Dave W.

What is Medical Acupuncture?

Medical Acupuncture applies the evidence-based concepts of acupuncture to relieve pain, alter movement patterns and improve performance. Acupuncture stimulates the nervous system to put the body’s natural mechanisms of healing into action.

What is Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS)?

IMS is a therapeutic treatment that uses acupuncture needles to target tight, hyperactive and sore muscles. IMS releases tight muscles, reducing nerve pain and irritation, and restoring a normal range of motion. The effects are cumulative, as each treatment builds upon the previous session to stimulate healing.

FAQs

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine practiced for thousands of years in China and other Asian countries. The practice involves inserting thin disposable needles into specific trigger points along the body to treat various ailments.

What Are The Wide Range Of Benefits Of Medical Acupuncture?

At our South Calgary acupuncture center, you can experience improved well-being that includes better blood circulation, improved sleep, less fatigue, reduced stress levels, increased energy levels, and most of all, pain relief.

What is the difference between IMS, Acupuncture, and Dry Needling?

The three main types of acupuncture are IMS, dry needling, and acupressure. They all work by stimulating points along the meridians in the body. However, they differ in how they do it. IMS uses needles inserted into specific points along the meridian. Dry needling works by inserting fine filaments through the skin at the point where the meridian meets the surface of the skin. Acupressure works by applying pressure to certain points on the body using finger pads or thumbs.
