Your recovery starts here

At North Hill Physiotherapy, we’re proud to help Calgary stay active and well. Our experienced team provides hands-on treatment and personalised guidance to support recovery, build strength, and keep you moving with confidence.

Medical Acupuncture

Medical acupuncture is a safe and gentle treatment used by physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals to help relieve pain and support the body’s natural healing. Tiny, thin needles are inserted into specific points to reduce muscle tension, improve movement, and promote relaxation. It’s often used alongside other treatments to help you feel better faster.

Benefits of Medical Acupuncture:

Eases pain in the back, neck, joints, and muscles
Reduces muscle tightness and spasms
Supports recovery after injury or surgery
Improves circulation and helps tissues heal
Promotes relaxation and reduces stress

Dry Needling

Dry needling is a treatment used by physiotherapists to reduce muscle pain and tightness. Very fine needles are inserted into tight or sensitive areas of muscle (often called trigger points) to help release tension, improve movement, and decrease pain. It’s a targeted technique that can be combined with other treatments to support your recovery.
