Is acupuncture covered by insurance in Ontario?

Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture needles are very fine, much thinner than a needle used for a blood test. Most people feel a light tingle, warmth or gentle pressure. If you are nervous about needles, tell Melissa and she will start gently and adjust to your comfort.
What happens at my first acupuncture visit?
Melissa reviews your health history and current concerns, explains what she recommends, and then gives your first treatment. You rest with the needles in place, and together you agree on next steps.
How much does acupuncture cost?
Prices for acupuncture in the GTA generally range from $60 to $120 per session depending on length and practitioner. Contact us for current pricing at Core Healing Path.
