Chronic pain affects every aspect of life. It can impact your ability to work, move, and even how well you sleep at night. At Invicta Performance, we offer acupuncture services as part of our multidisciplinary approach to care.


Led by Remi Ma, Registered Acupuncturist, our acupuncture treatments provide a safe, natural, and evidence-based way to manage pain, restore balance, and support recovery.


How Acupuncture Helps with Pain


Acupuncture involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body. This stimulates natural healing. The process offers several benefits:


  • Increases blood flow to injured tissues.

  • Triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.

  • Reduces inflammation.

  • Balances nervous system activity to calm pain signals.


Whether your pain is from an injury, arthritis, back or neck tension, migraines, or muscle tightness, acupuncture can provide meaningful relief.


Evidence-Based Results


Research supports acupuncture as an effective therapy for many pain conditions. Here are some key findings:


  • A 2018 review published in the Journal of Pain concluded that acupuncture is effective for chronic musculoskeletal pain, osteoarthritis, headaches, and shoulder pain.

  • Studies show acupuncture may outperform standard care for chronic low back pain and migraine prevention.

  • Patients often report fewer side effects compared to medication-based treatments.


At Invicta, we combine traditional wisdom with modern, evidence-based practice. This ensures safe and effective care for all our clients.

The Holistic Approach to Health


At Invicta Performance, we believe in a holistic approach to health. This means looking at the whole person, not just the symptoms. Acupuncture is just one part of our comprehensive treatment plan.


Understanding Holistic Health


Holistic health focuses on the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit. It recognizes that physical health is influenced by emotional and mental well-being. By addressing all aspects of health, we aim to promote overall wellness.


The Role of Acupuncture in Holistic Health


Acupuncture plays a vital role in this holistic approach. It not only addresses physical pain but also helps to reduce stress and anxiety. Many clients find that their emotional well-being improves alongside their physical health. This dual benefit makes acupuncture a powerful tool in your wellness journey.


What to Expect During Your Acupuncture Session


If you’re new to acupuncture, you might wonder what to expect. Here’s a brief overview:


  1. Initial Consultation: Your first visit will include a thorough assessment. Remi will discuss your health history and current concerns.

  2. Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on your needs, Remi will create a tailored treatment plan. This may include specific acupuncture points and techniques.

  3. The Acupuncture Session: During the session, you’ll lie comfortably while the needles are inserted. Most clients feel little to no discomfort. Many even find it relaxing!

  4. Post-Treatment Care: After your session, Remi may provide recommendations for self-care. This could include exercises, stretches, or lifestyle changes to enhance your recovery.
