Acupuncture and Cupping (Hijama) Clinic in Mississauga

Acupuncture is commonly used to support individuals experiencing chronic pain, including back pain, neck pain, and sciatica, as well as stress, anxiety, sleep disturbances, digestive concerns, headaches, fertility challenges, and chronic fatigue. If you’re unsure whether your specific health concern is a good fit for acupuncture, feel free to contact us before booking an appointment.

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body with thin, sterile needles. This process helps trigger the release of the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals, improve blood circulation, and calm an overactive nervous system. While the treatment itself is simple, many patients find it highly effective for managing pain, stress, and overall well-being.

Generally, no. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during treatment. You may feel a brief dull ache, warmth, tingling sensation, or slight pressure when the needle reaches the intended point, but it should not feel sharp or painful. If you experience any discomfort, your practitioner can adjust the treatment immediately.

Yes, cupping and Hijama therapy are generally safe when performed by a trained and certified practitioner. At M City Holistic Therapy, we follow strict hygiene protocols and use sterile, single-use equipment for every session. The most common side effect is temporary circular marks on the skin, which typically fade within a few days. Minor skin sensitivity may occasionally occur. If you have any underlying health conditions or concerns, we recommend speaking with our practitioner before booking your first session.

During a cupping session, suction cups are placed on the skin to help improve circulation, release muscle tension, and support recovery. If you choose Hijama (wet cupping), small controlled skin incisions are made before suction is applied to remove a small amount of blood. Before any treatment begins, your practitioner will explain the process, answer your questions, and recommend the most appropriate approach for your needs.
