Overview

About this treatment

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine that has been practiced for over 2,000 years. It involves the insertion of very fine, sterile, single-use needles into specific points on the body (acupoints) to regulate the flow of Qi (vital energy), stimulate the nervous system, improve blood circulation, and trigger the release of natural pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory chemicals.

Our Approach at PhysioCare Oshawa

Udani Fernando, certified in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, combines classical techniques with modern understanding. She often integrates acupuncture with Tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage), cupping, guasha, and reflexology for enhanced results. Treatments are relaxing, virtually painless, and customized to your specific health goals.

FAQ’s

Frequently asked questions

Clinician speaking with a patient in a bright clinic

Do I need a doctor’s referral?

No. You can book physiotherapy, massage, chiropractic, and most of our other services directly. Some insurers still ask for a referral for reimbursement — we can help you check your plan.

Do you direct-bill insurance, MVA, and WSIB?

Yes. We direct-bill most extended health plans and regularly treat motor vehicle accident and WSIB files. Bring your insurance details or claim number to your first visit.

What should I wear or bring to my first visit?

Wear comfortable clothing you can move in. Please bring photo ID, your insurance card, a list of medications, and any imaging reports. Arriving 10–15 minutes early helps us review intake forms.

Are sessions one-on-one?

Always. You have your clinician’s full attention for the entire appointment — no shared treatment rooms, no overlapping patients.

Is there parking, and is the clinic accessible?

We are on the ground floor of Crown Medical Clinic at 115 Simcoe St. South. Free patient parking is behind the building, and the clinic is wheelchair accessible.

What is your cancellation policy?

Please give 24 hours’ notice if you need to change an appointment. Late cancellations and missed visits may be subject to a fee so we can offer that time to another patient.
