Afraid of needles?

Fear of needles is one of the most common reasons people hesitate to try acupuncture. At our NW Calgary clinic, Dr. Wu uses specialized, ultra-thin needles and a gentle technique to ensure a relaxing and comfortable experience. Read below to see how even our most hesitant patients found relief and relaxation during their treatments at Scenic Acres Medical Centre.

“Dr Linda Wu was recommended to me by a friend. I was interested to learn that she was a medical doctor, in China, and also a registered acupuncturist here in Alberta. I feel this gives her an advantage in treating her patients.
I was immediately impressed when I met Dr.Wu and she told me she could treat my symptoms (which she did, very succesfully) but that I must see my family doctor for a couple of tests to get to the root cause of the problem. I did this and found that I needed a small surgery to completely resolve the situation.
I am very afraid of needles – the ones for injections and drawing blood, so how could I possibly have acupuncture ? Well, to my surprise, the needles are very thin and hardly noticeable once inserted. I feel the treatment is, in fact, very relaxing and the time passes quickly, as I listen to the quiet background music.
Dr Linda Wu is very reassuring, and sensitive to ones needs and preferences/concerns, and so I heartily recommend her to you.”
