Why Chinese Acupuncture in Montreal?
Rooted in thousands of years of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body — through fine, single-use disposable needles — that influence the nervous system, circulation, and inflammation response. It is generally not painful. It doesn't replace medical care, but for many conditions it addresses underlying patterns that medication alone doesn't resolve.
It's also cumulative — results build over a course of treatment. Most patients notice meaningful change within 3–5 visits.

What Our Patients Say
★★★★★
"I have been going to Dr. Liu for many years. She helped me with several musculoskeletal issues for which Western medicine had been completely ineffective, such as costochondritis, temporomandibular pain, and persistent neck pain. Patients I referred to her also reported successful treatment of menstrual problems and persistent skin rashes. She is gentle and caring, and I highly recommend her treatments."
- Tamara Korin, MontrealAcupuncture & Musculoskeletal Care
★★★★★
"My wife and I are both rheumatologists. We have previously received biological injections. After a course of acupuncture, my wife no longer depends on biological injections, and I have been able to extend the intervals between my injections. We are very satisfied with the results because our lives are returning to normal. We continue to receive this painless treatment regularly."
- Drs. Mark & Emily Brown, MontrealAcupuncture
★★★★★
"The acupuncture treatments at Able Chinese Acupuncture Clinic have been life-changing. My chronic back pain is finally manageable, and I feel more energized than I have in years. Louise took the time to listen to my concerns and explained every step of the process, which made me feel comfortable and cared for. I am grateful for her expertise and the genuine improvement in my quality of life. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking real, lasting relief."
