Ottawa Acupuncture & Dry Needling

Unlock Pain Relief with Acupuncture & Dry Needling

Acupuncture

At Optimize Physiotherapy, acupuncture is integrated into our physiotherapy treatments to provide pain relief, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation. This technique involves the insertion of fine needles through the skin at specific points on the body to stimulate healing and restore balance.

Dry Needling

Functional Dry Needling (FDN) targets muscular trigger points, tightness, and spasms causing pain and movement dysfunction. Small, thin needles are inserted into muscle trigger points for quick and effective release, promoting increased blood flow and healing.

Optimize Physiotherapy is amazing! The staff is professional, caring, and highly skilled. They created a personalized plan that delivered great results quickly. The clinic is clean and welcoming. Highly recommend!

When I first arrived at Optimize I was in sad shape. I couldn't walk properly. My right knee had just been diagnosed with osteo arthritis severely. Left knee has it as well but not as bad. I was introduced to Nick and then the work started. He was very patient and encouraging. Demonstrated exactly what I had to do and was always by my side. I felt safe and comfortable. Month later, knees are much improved with hope that they will continue to get stronger. I am very grateful to Nick and Optimize. I have my life back. Thank you so much.

If you’re in need of physiotherapy, Optimize Physiotherapy is your place. They have a great facility, friendly staff, an easy to use booking system, and they apply effective physio techniques with a focus on one on one attention. Paul Fortin did a great job helping me recover from my separated shoulder injury. We established goals and he used movement based treatments to improve my range of motion and strength. His explanations and demonstrations of the elements of the treatments were great - very clear and easy to follow.

I’ve been going to Optimize for physio for almost a year and I’m very happy with the service I’ve received. Jenna my physiotherapist is amazing, she takes the time to listen to my concerns and challenges me to do new exercises which I really enjoy. Everyone from the office is amazing, from the ladies working at the front desk to the rest of the team. The atmosphere is great and I look forward to my visits every time.
