Functional Integrated Acupuncture (FIA)

Book An Appointment

Functional Integrated Acupuncture (FIA) is a modern approach to acupuncture rooted in contemporary neurofunctional techniques. Unlike traditional acupuncture, FIA is based on anatomical and neurophysiological principles, using fine, sterile needles to stimulate muscles, nerves, and connective tissue. The goal is to restore normal function, reduce pain, and improve overall performance by directly addressing neuromuscular imbalances.

This technique is commonly used to treat conditions such as chronic pain, sports injuries, muscle tension, nerve irritation, and joint dysfunction.

At Aberfoyle Chiropractic & Wellness, FIA is offered in conjunction with chiropractic care to maximize treatment outcomes. While chiropractic adjustments restore joint alignment and mobility, FIA enhances the therapeutic effect by relaxing tight muscles, improving nerve communication, and accelerating tissue healing. Together, they offer a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to managing pain and optimizing function.

Our practitioners trained through the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) are equipped with advanced knowledge in both manual therapy and neurofunctional acupuncture—ensuring you receive safe, effective, and personalized care.
