Vital Balance Therapy

Many extended health plans cover services like acupuncture, osteopathy, and dry needling. It's best to contact the clinic directly or check with your insurance provider to confirm coverage details and whether direct billing is available for your specific plan.

No, a doctor's referral is generally not required to see Colin for acupuncture, osteopathy, or dry needling services. However, some extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement, so it's a good idea to check with your provider beforehand.

Vital Balance Therapy treats a wide range of issues including chronic pain, sports injuries, headaches, back and neck pain, postural imbalances, and movement dysfunctions. The clinic specializes in cases where symptoms keep returning despite previous treatment, using a neuro-based approach to uncover the true source of the problem.

Your first visit will include a thorough assessment of your movement patterns, muscular and joint function, and nervous system responses to identify compensation patterns and hidden dysfunctions. Colin will then begin hands-on treatment using techniques tailored to your specific needs, which may include acupuncture, osteopathic manipulation, or dry needling.

Sports Medicine Acupuncture® combines traditional acupuncture principles with modern orthopedic and sports medicine techniques, including needling of muscle motor points to enhance strength, improve muscle fibre recruitment, and restore proper movement patterns. It's specifically designed to address musculoskeletal dysfunction and support athletic performance and recovery.
