Strive has a friendly and knowledgeable staff who go above and beyond to ensure you are treated well. Mike has gone to great efforts to create a seamless experience from treatment to billing. Due to conditions that require ongoing care, I usually end up back in a physical therapy clinic often.

"The space is clean, bright, and comfortable. I highly recommend Strive Physiotherapy..."

From assessment through to the end of treatment, I felt like I was listened to and given a program and timelines that appropriately challenged me. Michael helped me overcome a lingering injury and helped to explain why my body was responding certain was and how my exercises were going to help me move toward my goal. He kept great records of my goals and progress-- which he used to encourage me through a mini-plateau. The space is clean, bright, and comfortable. I highly recommend Strive Physiotherapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does medical acupuncture work?

The body has over 2000 acupuncture points. When these points are stimulated during an acupuncture treatment, the body’s natural painkillers are released through our biochemical responses, promoting pain relief.

Generally, acupuncture DOES NOT hurt. The insertion of fine needles (about the diameter of human hair) may bring a slight tingling feeling as the needle reaches its point, but for most patients, they don’t feel discomfort at all. 

Do the needles hurt?

Some people feel immediate relief after one treatment but in most cases, more sessions are required. The number of sessions depends on your specific condition. If you have been enduring the pain for a long time, you may be required longer course of treatment for effective and lasting pain relief.

How many treatments do I need?

Completely! Acupuncture has been an FDA-approved type of treatment since 1996. Acupuncture has been a system of medicine for more than 2500 and by far, its efficacy and safeness are proven through the years.
