Natural Healing through Acupuncture in Halifax

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine are ancient methods of preventing or treating disease of all kinds. Even in modern times, these modalities still have the power to prevent or treat many forms of disease and disharmony. Elizabeth Heffelfinger is proud to offer a range of acupuncture services to patients in Halifax and throughout the surrounding area.

 

In general, acupuncture is a highly personalized method of treatment. All treatments are designed to provide exactly what the patient needs at that time.

 

Acupuncture can be effective in treating:

     winter doldrums

     pain of all sorts

     colds and flus

     allergies

     anxiety and depression  

     headaches

     insomnia

     digestive disorders

     reproductive disorders

     menstrual problems

     menopausal symptoms

     side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatments

     injuries and surgeries

     chronic fatigue and auto-immune disease

     ...… and more

It is important to note that, like any form of medicine, there are certain circumstances that are difficult to change. There are times when bringing some relief and comfort, rather than perfect health, is what acupuncture can provide.

 

Elizabeth provides responsible care and, in certain circumstances, it might be appropriate to work in conjunction with other conventional western medical treatments.

 

What to Expect

All appointments last 1 hour. Together we go over your medical history, and review what you are coming into the office for and then Elizabeth provides an acupuncture treatment.

Please contact Elizabeth if you are interested in facial acupuncture which is not purely a superficial treatment. A series may be called for which she will discuss with you.

 

As each patient is different, a treatment plan is discussed together, and is based on the patient’s needs. Treatments can be weekly, every 2/3 weeks, monthly or seasonally, as needed.

​

 

Various dietary and lifestyle guidelines will be presented as “homework” for the patient. This “homework” is meant to assist the patient’s movement toward health.
