Acupuncture for Anxiety and Depression
Acupuncture can treat anxiety problems with or without depression, and now research shows it to be as clinically significant as psychological counselling in the treatment of depression. Certain points used in acupuncture are able to “calm” or “deactivate” the brain’s amygdala associated with stress and survival responses….
The point of acupuncture in fertility…..
One in six Canadian couples are having trouble conceiving, a problem that has doubled since the 1990s. What can couples do to maximize their odds of having a baby with or without procedures like IVF? Besides eating well, stopping drinking and smoking, losing weight if overweight, and managing stress, many are using acupuncture.
Back Mechanic: yoga and stretching can make back pain worse some times
Many people come to us with lower back pain. Many come with a history of sitting too much and not getting enough exercise. But ironically, maybe even more, despite or because of extensive and consistent strength training and/or stretching, complain of low back pain and intolerance to sitting. Why is this?
Health span – the meaning of health
“Health span” is a relatively new idea. Related to the concept of “life span”, health span is not as easy to define, not so concrete and final; less measurable. Health span can be simply defined as the length of a life that is “healthy” or that one is in “good health”. But what is that? Well it does NOT just mean the absence of disease or chronic dysfunction in your life!
What is your last straw illusion? Take the tracking challenge!
Normal life situations can sometimes be the proverbial last straw to break your camel’s back when it comes to your health. Why is it that we have such a hard time seeing the problem coming? I break the problem of why we don’t see it coming into three different categories – subtlety, multi-issue, and time-delay factors. Take the tracking challenge here to understand your last straws better.
Weight Reduction
Regardless of society’s standards of fitness and beauty, it is important to develop goals that make sense to you, and are achievable by you. Many obstacles can get in your way of finding your shape including injuries, chronic stress, body image, hormone imbalances, digestion and metabolism.

Exceptional in every way
Everything about my visits are guaranteed to be relaxing and organized. Visiting during CV19 was no exception. I felt safe and well looked after. My treatment with Gord was superb, as was the conversations—as always. Suffering from chronic migraine and neck pain, having regular acupuncture and cupping is necessary and makes the world of difference. Very effective way to manage my pain and get me back on track. Can’t recommend enough!

Great Service
I went to Gord for the first time after doing my online research on Acupuncturist. He was very knowledgeable and explained things thoroughly. He doesn’t just put needles in your whole body and send you on your way, he focuses on your specific issues. I like the he combined cupping into the session and that he did electro stimulation with the needles. Great first experience and definitely going back.

I was struck not only by Gord’s knowledge but by his level of investment in my healing.

My last appointment
I hadn’t seen Gord since January, I was in need. We discussed the areas of pain starting with acupuncture on the front of my body. Gord did some cupping to my lower back. Next, acupuncture for calf pain, electric currents through various needles, and heating added by a heat lamp. I left, knowing that I needed to rest. At home, relaxed, I napped as usual, then I felt energized, knowing that my job was to be aware to nourish, exercise, meditate and sleep till I next see Gord. ✌️

TOP NOTCH CLINIC!!!
After three months of no treatments, for my first visit back I saw Marisha for a massage than Gord for acupuncture. The first covered my overall body aches and pains. The second took care of some specific joint issues. It was two hours of much needed body healing and maintenance. Unsurprisingly I had exceptional care and left feeling restored…it’s good to get back to the routines.
W.H. Jun 17, 2020
Serene and unexpected
From the moment you walk into the offices you can feel the positive energy and thoughtfulness that surrounds Gord. My initial meeting was calm, relaxed and very informative. The space was cleaning, calming, welcoming and would be good for someone who prefers a more personal than clinic style experience.

There is a reason for all the 5 star ratings
Gord radiates knowledge in his field, and has helped me with everything from back spasms to digestive issues. He is someone who instills bits of wisdom in every visit, and I have been going to him for over 4 years now, and I would highly refer him to anyone who has previously been apprehensive about these types of treatments, as they work!

Positive Experience!
I have been seeing Gord for a few years now for a variety of issues from general aches and pains to sports injuries. He is a very warm and caring person as well as very knowledgeable about the body; how injuries come about and how to correct them using different techniques. I always feel very comfortable during my visit and much better when I leave. I also enjoy the chats during the sessions as I always learn something new from him.

Grateful
I have been away for a while and had not had acupuncture since last summer. My neck and upper back were getting more locked in and I was having difficulty turning my head.As usual, Gord did his an amazing jib of not just zeroing in on the presenting issue but also some of the underlying causes. I also love that, when I needed a minute at after the session, that I could relax in the community space until I was ready to go. Simply the best atmosphere and the best treatment.

A hopeful experience
When I opened the door off the institutional hallway, I literally gasped at the contrast. I’d walked into another world full of visual and auditory natural sounds. No one was around, but the invitation to fill out my 1st time visit forms were handy. Soon Gord , the owner, appeared and introduced himself, even though he knew I was waiting for Reg. Reg has given me hope for my hip joint flexibility issues. Warm, friendly, knowledgeable….I highly recommend him and the Turning Point.

Acupuncture spa
I love everything about Acupuncture Turning Point. Upon waking through the door I am immediately calmed by the wood, the sound of water, complementary tea and live plants. Gord has treated me for several ailments from a common chest cold to tendonitis, stress and lower back pain. His knowledge and passion for healing through acupuncture are truly admirable, but Gord doesn’t only treat through acupuncture, he advises to promote overall health. I feel so fortunate to have found this unique place.

Back pain
My wife and I have been going to Gord for several years now. With a combination of acupuncture, cupping and conversations about life, Gord has always been able to help. Because of a previous back injury, from time to time, I throw out my back without warning. Within hours of treatment, there is a marked difference in my pain and mobility. Gord has also done a really good job at the new space. He has created an office that has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. This is the place to go to!

Compassion and Strength of Purpose
I had been in tears and I left in gratitude. I have been in pain where I can barely walk, sit, sleep and eat, I receive compassion every time I have a treatment. Strength of purpose is what has led Gord to expand the practice. I know that I get even better treatments because of the new office move. More room to work and room to grow! I highly recommend The Acupuncture Turning Point, go check out Gord, and the new office space! Peace

I have been going to Acupuncture Turning Point for a little over three years. Gord has been able to give me much needed relief through some very serious illness. He knows his stuff, for sure!! I appreciate how he explains everything and takes the time to really listen. You can tell he genuinely cares for the well being of his clients. I will continue to make this part of my health maintenance program!! 😊😊

A Successful First Visit
Seeking relief from anxiety and poor sleep, I was hopeful that acupuncture might help. Even if the actual acupuncture itself had not been effective–which it was because I find my sleep much improved recently–the whole atmosphere of the visit was both welcoming and calming Gord is obviously both knowledgeable and caring, performing the treatment with skill and compassionate respect. My thanks and admiration, Gord.

I’ve been coming to Acupuncture Turning Point for a few years now and have always been well cared for by Gord and Alina. I brought my partner in the other day. He’d never had acupuncture and for various reasons was trepidatious. Gord of course was lovely. Thanks!

Acupuncture Turning Point
My sciatica pain in my right leg is considerably reduced following a treatment with Gord in the wonderful new location – a soothing green space and a balm for my spirit. I highly recommend Gord and Alina, both of whom have treated me in the past for my body pains that go back a very long time and are stubborn to heal. However, yesterday Gord’s heartfelt kindness and concern for my wellness was much appreciated and a godsend at this particular time for which I feel blessed! Big love and thanks!

Overall great experience
I went here for acupuncture for the first time and had a great overall experience. Gord, the owner was very customer oriented and wanted to understand all of the things going on. His experience is vast, not just with acupuncture and he is extremely relatable. The treatment was perfect for what was challenging me both mentally and physically. I rebooked immediately after my session.

Gord worked on all of the above. I can sleep again,mood is much better, I am able to manage my life easier. My pain meds are not working as well and with Gord’s skills I am able to cope without increasing the meds. He works on me from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. I had a back spasm on the table and he had it gone in seconds! I highly suggest that you give these practioners a go, and see how they give you healing. Peace

Road to Recovery
If is wasn’t for Gord. I don’t think I would be racing my bike right now. As an aging athlete, I’m starting to fall apart a little easier. I currently have back, and shoulder issues that are causing me pain. After only a few treatments, I’m getting relief from the Acupuncture. Gord has a big heart with tons of knowledge, and skill to back it up. He just loves to help people. This is why I keep going back. Thanks Gord for getting me back on the road. Gord gets 7 STARS from me.

Saved me from plantar fasciitis pain
I had been suffering from plantar fasciitis pain for over 2 years. I’d tried everything: reflexology, arch supports, leg massage, k-tape, cortisone shots, podiatry visits, special socks . . . you name, I tried it but none of these solved my ever worsening problem. Eventually, my brother suggested acupuncture with Gord. His therapy was exactly what was needed and I saw instant benefits. Within a coupe of months my feet were back to normal.

I had my 3rd appointment done with Gord. Originally went in for my chronic headaches and sore neck and shoulder. Gord is simply awesome. Full of knowledge and professional. I can feel a difference with my chronic pain after 3 appointments. However, I am aware, that this will take many more appointments. But so far so good. I found that the accupuncture and the tape helped the most! So I will definitely continue getting that done.

Gord’s Mastery
Gord is my miracle worker, working on my emotions and my spine. He has an intuition that he listens to. I walk into their office and I can give myself over to their care. I have more energy when I leave because Gord has done his best work. My migraines are taken care of in one visit. My spine is unfixable but I get such relaxation and I have a huge trust in Gord. Where the other doctor visits feel too clinical, Gord’s care resounds the instant you walk in the door. This is the place for caring.

Deserves more than 5 stars!
Gord is truly amazing. He is so knowledgeable and caring. I have a bad neck injury and was trying treatment elsewhere for about 2 years and it did not seem to help. I went to see Gord for the first time and I immediately felt so much better. My injury isn’t nearly as bad as it used to be. I also went to see him because I felt like I was getting a cold and again, he fixed me up in no time and I was at 100% a few days later. He is one of the best acupuncturists I have ever seen.

Ankle Injury
Five year after braking my ankle and post-operational side effect, this was the place where I finally found significant relief. During the first visit, Dr Gord asked insightful questions that were crucial for finding an underlying issue I was dealing with. After just first few sessions of acupuncture swelling was reduced dramatically and my ankle joint mobility was improved. Very pleasant place with such a helpful people. Thank you, Dr Gord.

I was curious to try the ancient Chinese practices used by many Olympic athletes around the world, most notably, Michael Phelps and decided to take the plunge.

I hadn’t been in for a while and needed a bit of a “tune up”. Gord was on point, as always, and gave me a great treatment. I would also like to mention that I’d arrived early and, as usual, the ambiance was relaxing as I sat by the waterfall and waited for my treatment. I went home relaxed because of my treatment. Wonderful! Thank You!

Initial appointment
This was my first experience with acupuncture, so I don’t have any frame of reference. That being said I found it was an interesting experience. I went into the appointment with pretty extreme anxiety and left fairly calm, so it seemed to serve it’s purpose. Gord is very wise and offers a lot of advise, which I found extremely enlightening, I wasn’t expecting that at all.

The Acupuncture Turning Point
I have never been to acupuncture. Dr. Grant made me feel comfortable and explained thoroughly what would be happening and how it would affect my body and how it would help muscles and nerves to communicate again. He actually listened to what I had to say about my issues of pain and discomfort and came up with a game plan to help me. I would definitely recommend ATP for your acupuncture needs.

I went to see Gord on a recommendation from a friend. Anyone who knows me could not believe I was going…and I can wait for my second treatment. I highly recommend seeing Gord if you are nervous about acupuncture or are new to Chinese medicine. Gord has a calm and clear way of explaining acupuncture. During the initial visit he listens and picks up details for treatment specific for the individual. Above all he is calming to be around and has a grounding presence about him.

I’ve seen Gord a few times now and am never disappointed. The treatments I’ve received have always resulted in a more pain free existence and for that I am eternally grateful.

better than chiro and massgee
I have a lot of back and neck pain, as well as migraines. I received treatment of acupuncture, cupping and IMS. After just one treatment, I feel significant release of pain and tension. Will be returning to this clinic, vs going to chiro and massage, as this treatment was much more effective and long lasting.

Oh what a relief it is!
“I contacted Gord Saturday morning because I could not turn my head or nod. I was in serious acute teeth-clenching pain. Muscle relaxants did not even touch it. Gord used multiple techniques (Gua sha, cupping, and acupuncture) to to bring forward the area of concern and address it, and taping to help me remember to hold myself properly while I recovered. I had immediate pain relief and long term improvement. Proper neck rotation within 24 hours. Thanks Gord!”

Gord is Great!
“I had my first experience with Gord on short notice very recently. I was in quite a lot of discomfort from possibly a sprained back, and Gord was very accommodating in explaining the various reasons for the pain while also not rushing me through treatment. To say Gord is very knowledgable of his craft would be an understatement. He is clearly passionate about what he does and ensuring his clients get the best results. Gord also doesn’t try to push additional treatments on you. A+ for sure”

I tried Marisha for a massage for the first time last week. I was very impressed on how talented and knowledgeable this young woman is. She has strength in those hands!!! She knows how to apply just the right amount of pressure to release those tight knots. She also took the time to share some simple exercises and stretches to help manage the pain from my sore muscles. She made me feel at ease and the experience was nothing short of Heavenly!

I was suffering with nausea for 6 days. I tried emerg dept for relief, medical centres etc.. I kept getting prescriptions for stomach acid etc. Not one of them noticed that I was suffering from extreme anxiety. I called this office to inquire about treatment. I didn’t have to explain much on the phone. They took me in later that day and had an amazing treatment with Alina. I will be returning because they WANT to help. I walked out hungry btw. So grateful for ATP.

A New Appreciation for Acupuncture !
My childhood consisted of many, if not all the techniques Gordan had executed on me. Until finding The Acupuncture Turning Point I was very doubtful if I were to ever find a office in which could offer the services my grandmother and mother had used/taught me. My visit consisted of the combination of gua sha, cupping, acupuncture and soft tissue relief! With my experience, with other practises, I would only get one to possibly TWO techniques at MOST.

Deep Tissue with Carl
While it can be immensely painful (due to my own physically strenuous lifestyle) I always leave my appointments with Carl feeling much better. He does a great job of working the trigger points and knots out of my muscles! Great table side manner and very professional. I always feel completely secure and comfortable on his table.

Community acupuncture
Really enjoyed my acupuncture experience. It was very relaxing with a comfortable inviting space and the acupuncturist was very knowledgable. I would recommend this to those that have never experienced acupuncture to get a taste of what it’s all about, or for those that want to maintain their health without the full cost of a treatment.

Acup with Gord
Always a terrific experience- good deep talks about the meaning of life and how energy flow is such a part of that- how acupuncture relates to everything….. He has helped my back, shoulders, jaw nerves and muscles over the past 5 years. I highly recommend him and his approach to health.

Amazing as always
I love coming to the Acupuncture Turning point! Alina has vast knowledge of the body and how to fix your aches and pains. She spends the time getting to know your problems and how to fix them. She never worries about the clock, only making sure you leave feeling better, which is very hard to find! I also see Carl for massage & he also makes sure you leave feeling better! I have improved a lot since first coming here & I will never go elsewhere!

Phenomenal Service
Once again Aleena has outdone herself! I went in to get an acupuncture treatment, and she really knows her stuff! She spends the time trying to figure out what is causing the pain as well as fixing it. I love this clinic because it isn’t about the money for them! It’s about helping the patient and about trying to make the pain less! It’s nice to go to a clinic where their goal is to fix you rather then want to see you every couple days! Aleena knows what she is doing and I highly recommend her!

Complete Care
Gord takes his time to ensure he provides the absolute best care for whatever ailments he’s dealing with. He explains everything thoroughly and ensures his patients have a complete understanding before leaving his office. If you are scared of acupuncture; don’t be. It’s surprisingly painless and provides great relief. I highly recommend Gord – he’s treated a number of sport related issues I’ve had and I continue to go back to him as I encounter new areas of concern.

I have seen both Gord and Carl both exceptional at their trade Gord is extremely knowledgeable but will not baffle you with science but rather through discussion find how he can best enable you to get the best from his work. If you are scared or sceptical of acupuncture I recommend the plunge with Gord. Carl though young shows intuition beyond his age with very good intuition in his bodywork with a obvious innate knowledge of how to realease muscles and enable stabilisation. Both quality

Sciatic Relief
Having never experienced acupuncture, I was looking forward to confirming the value of this therapy and I was not disappointed. After only 2 treatments, the pain associated with the sciatic nerve was virtually eliminated and let me say, for the 2 weeks previous, I was in a great deal of pain. I was very impressed with Gordon’s knowledge and how effective the sessions were. I am grateful for the relief.

Amazing Acupuncture
From the moment I walked in, I knew this clinic was worth it. Alina was extremely knowledgeable & could tell where my pain was coming from just from touching my muscles. She explained everything thoroughly & made sure I was comfortable with the treatment. For 2 years I have been in a lot of pain, due to a car accident, that caused my neck muscles to constantly be tense, causing tension headaches. I have trouble sleeping & after this treatment I slept through the night! Highly Recommend.

Acupuncture with Alina
I had my very first session of acupuncture with Alina and I found her to be cognizant of where my trouble spots were. She was able to tell me what was going to occur within my muscles before she proceeded to needle them. I was very impressed with her work. After she was done, the right side of my shoulder and arm very very loose and my left which was the worse of the two, was much less tense. I plan on going back again.

Each visit they ask and check to see if there are new elements to the situation. and tailor the visit to leave you feeling better and watched over. ATP is a caring place to attend and you soon become family as they work with you to get you back on your feet healthy and functional.

Pain is gone
Dr. Grant has been treating me for period pain for 6 months and it is very effective to reduce pain and I am having no pain now. Another treatment on my neck muscles is also very recommended to release tense muscles. Thanks Dr. Grant.

Great care, Beautiful clinic.
Gord takes his time, asks questions, explains his treatment approach, sees his patient as a whole person. I always feel so much better after a treatment, and better equipped for self-care too. The clinic is gorgeous, full of plants and art-work and thoughtful, comfortable seating areas. Very hospitable. If you haven’t been there yet, book an appointment – you won’t be diappointed!

A place of care and healing
I went to ATP to help with the after affects of an assault. Along with the physical aspects were also the mental issues arising out of the event. From entering into the clinic, its atmosphere and meeting the staff, both sides of what was holding me back has and is being addressed. In simple they care, are dedicated to healing body soul and mind and can highly recommend them to anyone in need of their services.

I had my very first acupuncture service ever with Alina. She was very knowledgeable and I’m formative about the treatments provided and made me feel very comfortable as I had a bit of anxiety going into the service. I have chronic pain stress and medical conditions which made me decide to give it a go. I left acupuncture turning point feeling AMAZING. My pain was reduced and I felt like I could tackle the world. I have prebooked my next appointment and can’t wait to see Alina again. Thank you

My sciatic pain had left me unable to go for my usual treatments, so one can imagine the mess I was in from the neck down. Carl had lots of work to do. Carl did a fantastic job in working out the knots, throughout my neck and back, and what a difference. My headache was gone, and I felt so much better. Thank you Carl for always doing excellent work.

Unbelievable results with no pain and everything to gain!
I have been living with bursitus pain off and on for over 20 years, with the last 5 years getting progressively worse. Pills will dull the pain, but not take it away. The Acupuncture Turning Point took that pain away and gave me a boost of energy, along with an overall feeling of well being. I am so excited about the freedom this has brought back to my life. I now know where to go whenever I have any pain and I can feel comfortable and assured that I am in good hands.

Helped me help myself
I saw Gord multiple times from December to now, to help with a long recovery from an auto accident. Acupuncture with Gord was a huge catalyst for me, and not only provided pain relief and accelerated healing, but continues to do so when I come in from time to time. I don’t walk with a cane anymore and I think very highly of acupuncture and would recommend this to anyone who has gotten tired of other methods of healing not working. Gord is amazing at what he does, would recommend to anyone.

I have been seeing her for stress and anxiety issues, and she always inquires after my situation and listens with genuine care and interest. I recently visited the new location on 51st ave for the first time and it’s fantastic. Lots of parking, plenty of space. Clean, inviting, and calming atmosphere.

Gord is a very important part of my personal health and well-being team. His skill, caring, and wisdom have not only supported my healing from injuries such as sciatica and rotator cuff problems but aided in my recovery from a challenging year of mono. Gord has the wonderful ability to truly hear what you are saying and responding in a way that really supports your body’s healing abilities. I am so glad to have him in my corner.

If you’re on a limited budget or don’t have insurance coverage to help pay for acupuncture, community acupuncture is a great way to access acupuncture treatments.

I have been coming to ATP for some years. I see Gord for Acupuncture (overall wellness) and Carl for massage (specific areas). Since Carl has been with ATP I have been more regularly trying lymphatic drainage massage and have to say that my overall level of wellness has improved. He combines it with some of my pressure points (neck and shoulders). The immediate benefits last for days and I believe the long term benefits have contributed to my feeling better in mind, body and spirit.

Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because I have only had one appointment so far and it was a community acupuncture session; my own personal session isn’t until Friday. Nonetheless, the hour or so I spent trying it out for the first time, and the knowledge of the staff, makes me believe that next time I’ll be giving 5 stars! Nice relaxing atmosphere; lots of free parking. Recommend anyone to try who has a pain issue they don’t know what to do with!

Ostioarthritis in my top six vertebrae
After a 1971 car accident breaking my 1st vertebrae leaving me without paralysis I was told to expect arthritis early. Until 2013 all was well. Then my neck seized and at one point half my face went numb! My neurologist suggested to see Gord. After two visits I was amazed by the mobility in my neck no longer stiff and great general well being! Other arthritic areas no longer bothered me! Gord has a concern for the well being of his clients. Amazing, thanks Gord I never dreamed this possible!

First time, I liked it!
‘m not a big fan of needles however, last week I had a area of surface pain/numbness under my left shoulder/left side. Muscle? Nerve? Then I added one of those kinks under the shoulder blade. Alina was calm/competent & explained as she went along. It was an interesting (literally fascinating) and not painful experience. At most it occasionally felt like someone ‘knuckling’ an area, weird but certainly bearable.Helpful suggestions for after too. Kink and pain largely gone. Relaxing as well!

The Acupuncture Turning Point was recommended to me by our project nurse. I was very impressed with the courtesy and efficiency of Alina. She took time to explain the process and what I should expect from the first treatment. I look forward to my follow-up treatment and continued improvement.

I have received treatments from both Carl and Gordon and have been extremely happy with the level of service, knowledge and results. Both Gordon and Carl provided effective treatment and care and made further recommendations to alleviate the pain. They take the time to understand your underlying issues and are gentle with their treatments. The staff genuinely care and are very professional and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend their services to a friend or family member.

Carl was very polite and.professional. he asked.what my concerns were and I explained that my shoulders, neck and hips had been bothering me. He focused most of my massage on those areas. Afterwards he explained that I had some serious knots in my hips. It was.an overall pleasent experience and I feel great today, I will definitely go back.

Acupuncture Turning Point
This is the best place I have had for acupuncture. Gord and Alina bring a vast knowledge base, great professionalism and real caring for their patients. I know I am in excellent hands when I am there. They bring together a balance of eastern and western medicine that doesn’t promote one at the expensive of the other. Definitely holistic.

Highly recommend
I would give my experience a 4.5/5. I would have liked is if the clinic provided bottle water at the end of the session. I loved the results of my treatment and although I dislike whyte ave’s inconviences the acupuncturist and the welcoming atmosphere is what will bring me back. My acupuncturist spent quality time, considered my issues without the need for me to remind and spoke to me with respect and concern. I think I may just be a regular. 🙂

Gord is an incredibly generous, insightful and kind human being. The session was informative, enlightening and I have honestly never felt so good as I did after the session and the talk. He walks you through everything that is happening, genuinely listens and engages in an honest discourse with you and has brilliant insights into life and the world. I will be back often, and I highly recommend Gord and his work to everyone.

A world of difference
I was in 2 car accidents a few years ago, and have been in pain ever since. I had attended physio, did the exercises, etc. but the pain was always there. Dr. Grant is so knowledgeable, and really knows how to put a person at ease. I had a few treatments from Dr. Grant, and I started to feel better, I could go for a walk and bend down to tie my shoes without crying. I highly recommend Dr. Grant and his clinic to anyone in need of treatment.

I went to my community accupucture session with swelling that seemed to be from allergies and stress. I appreciated Alina’s medical knowledge from her work as a physian in Russia.

One of the best decisions that I’ve made since moving to Edmonton is choosing to have regular acupuncture treatments with Gord for a range of health-related issues and for keeping myself functioning at my best. His skills are superb. One of the many things that I truly appreciate is Gord’s ability to use deep listening as part of his diagnostic repertoire. I also love the restful and affirming atmosphere at The Turning Point. Its the highlight of my week.

I was looking for a massage therapist close to my house and booked online with Mallery at Turning Point. It was such a pleasant experience and I will definitely be back. She is very skilled, professional and nice.

intelligent & responsive treatment
I came for help with pain relief, the pain being very severe and unresponsive to medication. Previously I had tried massage and cranial sacral work but was put off by the assumptions and general flakiness of the practitioners. (i.e., Can you send your pain to your divine self?) Gord was respectful, very knowledgeable, and curious about my situation. The acupuncture seemed to improve things, but I need more treatments to know for sure–thus the 4 rather than 5 stars.

Fantastic massage! I got in on a Sunday!
I was a wreck and needed a massage but it was Saturday night. I was able to schedule an appointment with Mallery for Sunday after a little convincing. I could not have been happier with the massage. Mallery is strong and very knowledgable. She is very respectful and discreet. I was so impressed with her strength for a small person. I was also impressed with her knowledge and appreciated it when she helped me stretch!

Stepping Into Transformative Experience
I have been involved wiith alternative, holistic approaches to medicine for twenty-two years. Reiki, Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais etc. Gord Grant provides a unique service: soothing in atmosphere, one instantly feels taken care of. Gord’s care and personal investment into his patients is a gift to experience, a quality lacking in today’s commodity and profit driven medical and health industries. Gord treats his patients so they can become balanced and integrated as a human being again.

Very Positive Experience
Yesterday i had a treatment for plantar fascitis in the soles of my feet. Dr Grant listened to my situation and explained very thoroughly as to why I was having pain. He told me what my options were and was very clear in explaining everything to me. Today the pain is considerably less for which I am very pleased. I will certainly recommend him to others. Acupuncture works. Thanks so much Dr. Grant.

Migraine
If you suffer from migraines or any neck tension I highly recommend seeing Gord. I suffered from almost daily migraines and after seeing Gord for regular acupuncture I was able to go medication free and my migraines are infrequent. Acupuncture was a last resort that I wish I had tried years ago!

Friendly and Attentive
It was my first time going to acupuncture and I was really nervous about it, but Gord made me feel at ease and made the whole appointment really relaxing and fun! I learned a lot about my specific needs and why he chose the specific acupuncture sites he did. He has an awesome, positive energy and his optimism for healing is contagious.

Intrigued
I really appreciated the way Gord explained the various acupuncture sites he accessed and made connections between all the body systems. As a nurse, I was satisfied that Gord makes evidence based decisions when he can and participates in scientific research while maintaining a very holistic approach. I’ve only been once, but whether it ‘works’ or not, I enjoyed myself and I look forward to seeing results.

Feeling Better Already!
The atmosphere at Turning Point is relaxing and healing. I have had only 2 visits and already have increased mobility in my neck. I suffered from two accidents that left me with headaches and a very stiff neck. I can’t believe the transformation! I recommend anyone suffering with any type of discomfort to try acupuncture. You will gain intelligence and freedom to live a pain free balanced life.

Effective pain relief
After 4 days of intense pain from a cramping sciatic nerve, I came up with $85.00 for an acupuncture treatment, as the meds ($91.00), were not having any effect. Gord did exactly what I expected to calm the stressed nerve within minutes. I am grateful to have connected with Gord, at The Acupuncture Turning Point.

Excellent preventative maintenance
As a landscaper and general contractor I need my body at its peak all the time. Gord took care to understand both the condition of my body as well as the demands I place on it. Not only did he take the time to design a treatment suited to my unique needs, he had the patience to help me understand my muscles better.

Helps manage pain from spinal cord injury
I have spinal cord injury and Syringomyelia ( a desease of my spinal cord). Gord has become an integral part of my disease management. I suffer from neurological pain and spasticity related to my disease. I came to Gord through a referral of another person with a spinal cord injury, whom Gord has helped The tangibles have been reduced pain, increased range of motion, positive sensory changes, and an ever increasing list with each week. Gord has become a true member of my health care team.

Great with kids
My 5 year old regularly visits Gord. Gord let her get comfortable with the room then got out the laser pen that he uses with kids (instead of needles). He let her push the button while he used the pen on me. Then she did it on herself. Now she insists on coming with me and my husband to our appointments too. It has greatly helped her restless legs syndrome as well as her stomach pain. My 3 year old has come a couple times and just tried with needles. Gord is very accommodating to kids

Dr.Gord is awesome
I live in California and have had quite a bit of treatment with alternative therapies including acupuncture. I think that Gord is well tuned and balanced about his treatment and analysis. While I put forth my own ideas about treatment he took the time to explain to me how acupuncture worked in a holistic way both historically and scientifically. I really appreciated his approach and felt much better after my treatments. He will be my therapist of choice when I visit Edmonton.

Increasing Awareness!
Dr. Gord Grant was incredible. Extremely perspeptive and understanding, I could immediatley he was knowledgeable regarding menstrual migraines, and other women’s health issues, which is rare for male practitioners. I am looking forward to going again soon, and increasing my own awareness of my body and well being.

Bridging Science and Acupuncture
I dearly wish to thank Dr Grant for his great advice on how to handle my 3 months long shoulder pain. He has the relevant scientific knowledge of anatomy and physiology to make the right diagnosis, and thus choosing the appropriate acupuncture treatment. More importantly his knowledge of pain and pain perception is just impressive. His humane touch in dealing with me was exceptional. My shoulder pain is gone.

Great Stress Relief!
When you walk in the clinic you will start to feel the stress of daily life falling away from you…I know I did. The comfortable sitting areas, books, and hot tea really make it feel like a welcome oasis from the busy world. After my massage with Valerie, I felt calmer and more relaxed than I have in years! She was very friendly and professional and made me feel comfortable as a new client of massage. I will definitely be back and highly recommend you to try it too!

Great Place, Great Service, Highly recommended!
I’ve been seeing Gord for acupuncture on a regular basis for a number of months. Never having had acupuncture before I didn’t know what to expect. I was immediately impressed. The clinic is very comfortable and Gord always takes time doing a holistic assessment and always asks how things worked out. He really knows his stuff ,explains what he’s doing and asks for your input. The best part is-it works! I’ve seen large improvements in both my back pain and PMS. Valerie is great too. GREAT PLACE!!!
