Conditions We Treat with Acupuncture & Dry Needling at Lakeside Health and Sport

Acupuncture is most effective when integrated into a full physiotherapy treatment plan. We commonly use it to treat:

Trigger Point Deactivation (Dry Needling)

We insert fine needles directly into tight, palpable muscle knots. This causes a therapeutic contraction, or 'twitch,' which signals the muscle to relax, instantly reducing tension and referred pain

Nerve Pathway Modulation

Acupuncture stimulates sensory nerve fibers, which effectively helps to 'turn down' the body’s pain signals to the brain, providing natural, sustained pain relief.

Enhanced Blood Flow & Healing

Needle insertion prompts a localized increase in circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to injured tissue to speed up the body's natural repair process.

Conditions We Treat with Acupuncture & Dry Needling at Lakeside Health and Sport

Acupuncture is most effective when integrated into a full physiotherapy treatment plan. We commonly use it to treat:

Chronic Lower Back & Neck Pain

Releasing deep spinal tension that manual techniques or massage can't easily reach.

Tension Headaches & Migraines

Targeting muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders to reduce frequency and severity.

Sciatica & Nerve Pain

Calming nerve root inflammation and releasing tight muscles that may be pressing on the nerve.

Tendonitis (Tennis Elbow, Achilles Tendinopathy)

Stimulating blood flow to promote healing in chronic, difficult-to-treat tendon injuries.

Acute Muscle Spasm

Providing rapid relief from intense muscle cramps or spasms, allowing for easier movement.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience at Lakeside Health and Sport. My physiotherapy assessment with Saurav Roy was excellent. I went in with a right-hand issue and couldn’t lift weights properly, and he made noticeable progress in just one session. I also had a 60-minute massage with Jordan Trivino, who was very professional and focused exactly on the tight areas. I left feeling much better. Highly recommend both!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great experience with Dr. Saurav, after trying three different Phisio clinics, I’m happy to have landed something so close to home where Mary at the front desk takes care of me like I’m family and Dr. Saurav treats my Phisio needs with impeccable detail, where he has treated and found areas of concern that other do not even look at. From the initial consultation to only my second appointment I feel a difference and have hope that I’ll be able to run my next marathon in the not to distant future!! Thank you to all the staff at Lakeside Physiotherapy!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jane So is the most attentive physiotherapist I’ve ever been too!  She asked lots of questions and manipulated my leg and sore knee in many ways and asked for feedback to understand the underlying cause of my pain. Well, I had been suffering for weeks, and within  days of following the exercises and  other instructions I felt much better.
