Acupuncture at Salmon Arm Wellness Clinic

Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to manipulate the flow of "Qi" (pronounced "chee"), or life force. It is believed that the flow of Qi through the body's meridian system is critical for health and well-being. Acupuncture aims to restore balance and health by adjusting this flow of energy.

When we use acupuncture, we are stimulating nerve endings to release endorphins or other neurotransmitters to help reduce pain and provide therapeutic treatment. Whether you are suffering from chronic migraines, endometriosis, fertility concerns, or sports injuries, Salmon Arm Wellness Clinic is here for your relief.

Meet Your Registered Acupuncturists

Melanie McLeod (she/her), R. Ac., B. Com

My career began in the sports world, where I worked for the Vancouver Canucks as a sponsorship & marketing manager, but it wasn’t long before I learned that the boardroom wasn’t where I belonged. I eagerly returned to school where I had the privilege of learning Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Now every day in the clinic, I get to help you feel and perform your best, and I am continually blown away by the effectiveness of acupuncture and natural medicine. I specialize in treating sports injuries, fertility, women’s health, and chronic and complex pain such as peripheral neuropathy.

I am so proud of the incredible support team we have at Salmon Arm Wellness Clinic. They are experts in client care and are the masters of your schedule and treatment plans. I know you will love working with them as much as I do.

Are you ready to start living pain-free?
