Acupuncture for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) - Victoria, BC


Neuro-Acupuncture for Comprehensive Care of Multiple Sclerosis (MS)


Explore the benefits of neuro-acupuncture, a specialized form of acupuncture ideal for managing neurological conditions like MS.

How Does Neuro-Acupuncture Help MS Symptoms?

Neuro-acupuncture blends traditional acupuncture techniques with modern knowledge of the nervous system. By stimulating specific nerves and brain regions, neuro-acupuncture enhances communication between nerve cells, promotes neuroplasticity, and provides relief for symptoms associated with MS. Additionally, acupuncture has been shown to help regulate inflammation and the immune system.

Multiple Sclerosis and Neuro-Acupuncture

Living with MS has unique challenges, from muscle weakness to coordination difficulties and pain. While there is no cure for MS, neuro-acupuncture is a safe and effective way to help manage your symptoms. By targeting specific regions of the brain, spinal cord and nerves in the body, treatments are tailored to each unique person to reduce symptoms and improve overall quality of life.

Benefits Of Neuro-Acupuncture For Individuals With MS:

  • Reduce Muscle Spasticity: Experience relief from muscle stiffness and spasms.
  • Improve Balance and Coordination: Enhance your ability to move with greater ease.
  • Support Energy Levels: Combat fatigue and increase vitality.
  • Alleviate Pain and Discomfort: Find relief from the pain and uncomfortable sensations associated with MS symptoms.
  • Improve Bladder and Bowel Function: Address common urinary and bowel control challenges.
  • Enhance Mood and Overall Well-being: Achieve a greater sense of mental and emotional wellness by increasing parasympathetic (rest, digest and heal) functions of the nervous system.
  • Decrease Inflammation: Neuro-acupuncture helps regulate inflammation in the body, contributing to overall symptom management


Neuro-acupuncture is an effective treatment for managing MS symptoms and improving overall well-being by stimulating your body’s own natural regulating mechanisms. When combined with conventional medical therapies and lifestyle interventions, it can play a valuable role in your MS management strategy.

"As an alternative approach, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) such as acupuncture has been used in an attempt to treat AIDs [Autoimmune Disease's] including multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and the results have proven to be quite promising, despite the fact that its mechanism is still not fully understood."
