Acupuncture Calgary
We treat the root cause of your chronic pain & stress
Finally, Relief from the Chronic Pain, Stress or Migraines Holding You Back
If you've been managing chronic pain, stress, or migraines with medication, physio, or sheer willpower — and you're still not where you want to be — the problem isn't your effort. It's that those approaches treat the symptom, not the source.
Acupuncture works differently. By stimulating precise points along the body's meridian pathways, it triggers your nervous system's own healing response — reducing inflammation, lowering stress hormones, and restoring the balance that chronic conditions disrupt. The result isn't temporary relief. It's your body learning to function the way it's supposed to.
At Calgary Laser Health, Dr. Sandra Sourang brings over 20 years of experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine to every session. Calgary clients have trusted her with their most stubborn, persistent health issues since 2010 — and they keep coming back.
Client Testimonials
How Does Acupuncture at Calgary Laser Health Work?
Acupuncture isn't guesswork — it's a precise, evidence-informed practice refined over thousands of years. Here's what actually happens during your treatment.
Stimulate
Using ultra-fine, sterile needles, acupuncture stimulates specific points on the body that may influence the nervous system and activate the body's natural pain-relieving responses. Many clients seek acupuncture to help manage chronic pain, headaches, stress, and other conditions as part of a personalized treatment plan.
Rebalance
By stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture may help activate the body's natural pain-relieving mechanisms and support healthy nervous system function. Many clients seek acupuncture for chronic pain, migraines, stress, and other conditions where lasting symptom management is the goal.
Restore
With each session the effects build. Pain decreases, sleep improves, stress responses calm, and energy returns. Most clients notice a meaningful shift within 2–4 treatments — with results that continue to develop between sessions..
Dr. Sourang treats a wide range of conditions — but these are the most common reasons Calgary clients book with her:
Chronic back, neck & joint pain
Migraines & tension headaches
Stress & anxiety-related symptoms
Sleep disturbances & insomnia
Menstrual pain & menopausal symptoms
Digestive symptoms — IBS, bloating & constipation
Sports-related aches & recovery
Certain nerve-related conditions including Bell's palsy
Supportive care during fertility treatment
Results vary by individual and condition. Acupuncture is intended to complement — not replace — appropriate medical care.

Does acupuncture hurt?
Most people are surprised by how comfortable it is. The needles are hair-thin — far finer than anything used in a blood test. You may feel a brief sensation as each needle is placed, followed by a mild tingling, warmth, or heaviness that most clients find deeply relaxing.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your condition. Acute issues may resolve in 3–5 sessions. Chronic conditions — persistent pain, long-term stress, recurring migraines — typically benefit from 8–12 sessions with occasional maintenance treatments thereafter. Dr. Sourang will give you a realistic estimate at your free consultation.
Is acupuncture covered by insurance in Alberta?
Many extended health benefit plans in Alberta include acupuncture coverage. We recommend checking directly with your provider — Dr. Sourang is a licensed practitioner whose services may qualify.
What's the difference between acupuncture and other TCM treatments like Gua Sha or Tui Na?
Acupuncture uses ultra-fine needles to stimulate specific points on the body. Gua Sha uses a smooth tool to improve circulation and release muscle tension. Tui Na is a form of Chinese therapeutic massage. Dr. Sourang often combines these techniques within a single session for enhanced results.
Is acupuncture safe?
Yes — when performed by a licensed practitioner using sterile, single-use needles. Dr. Sourang will conduct a full health intake before your first treatment to ensure acupuncture is appropriate for you. As with any treatment, it may not be suitable for everyone — your consultation is the right time to discuss any concerns.
