Herbal Medicine + Zen Shiatsu + Acupuncture

Masks are no longer required while you receive treatment. However, as Covid-19 and other airborne diseases are a reality, please evaluate yourself carefully before coming to treatment. If you do have a fever, chills, sore throat, sudden unexplained stuffy nose, respiratory difficulty, or other unexplained acute symptons, please cancel your appointment and stay home to get better.

There is street parking along Dupont St, as well as on Shaw St (perpendicular to Dupont) and also Melville Ave (just south of Dupont).

You can find a map on the Clinic Location page.

Absolutely. I use only high quality Japanese needles which come straight from the factory and are opened in front of you. Points are sterilized with alcohol. Needles are disposed of in a biohazard box and are never reused.

I generally recommend acupuncture when you have an issue in an acute (sudden onset) or “flare-up” stage.

For example, if you have a history of headaches I would suggest you see me in-between headaches so we can work on the root causes of the issue. These sessions will also help to lessen the frequency of occurrence.

Of course, you can also choose to come see me while you are experiencing a headache (or before one is just about to start). In this case, I will offer acupuncture along with bodywork in order to effectively reduce and resolve the problem.

Acupuncture needles are very thin, and rarely cause any discomfort. The needles used at Daniel Adler Clinic are made of stainless steel, and are single-use/disposable.

They may be bitter, sour, woody, or rooty. Sometimes they don’t taste great, but they are by no means terrible!
