My consultation with Gord was a truly positive experience. It's not every day that you come across someone who combines skill with such genuine empathy in a calming and relaxing environment. His holistic approach addressed my primary shoulder injury by alleviating the secondary stresses of tension and pain that radiated through my arm, neck, and shoulder blade. Gord is an attentive and skilled practitioner who is both knowledgeable and compassionate. I am more present with my overall movement and posture and am rethinking my current exercise regime.

It's always a please to received acupuncture at this location. Gord gives some very inspiration words that always leave me feeling uplifted and driven towards my day and goals.

I have been seeing Gord since the global pandemic started and each time he fills me with knowledge about the condition that i come in with, and how to care for it after leaving. Today this acpuncture rock star read me some of his poetry. Sure enough with in a couple days of the first session I have more mobilty and I am on the mend!

I came here for my Sciatica pain and my friend referred Mr. Gord. I had this pain from almost a year and the Acupuncture technique helped me a lot.He is Ocean of Knowledge and knows his work really well. Initially, I had pain in my back which goes through my thigh , calves and end up under the foot.With the help of his techniques of cupping and needles I am now really better.. I can even run lol.Gord is god to me. I went to varied physiotherapies and Chiros before, but all are money minded here in Edmonton. Gord’s technique is outstanding and he guides you in a proper manner. One thing I came to know about him that he is not money minded like others. Within 4 sessions I was able to see changes and Fortunately, this helped me to get rid of pain from my body.For Sciatica pain I will “ HIGHLY RECOMMEND “everyone.God bless you sir and Thank you again.

Gord is incredible. I've tried his acupuncture, cupping, and recently, infrared treatment. Gord knows what to do to help resolve any issues. l came in with headache, wrist and back problems and have noticed significant improvement with all three. I always leave feeling energized and renewed! Super grateful to have stumbled upon Gord and this beautiful space. Meeting Gord has definitely been the turning point in my health!

I received a gift certificate for a relaxation massage from my son and daughter in law! This was my very first massage ever! I am a 53 year old breast cancer survivor and have had a sore shoulder for years from surgery and treatment. Today I received a wonderful relaxation massage as well as ways to care for my sore shoulder, and why my shoulder was feeling this way.My shoulder and scar tissue have never felt so good! I'm definitely going back. The atmosphere is relaxing, the office is full of relaxing music, waterfalls and beautiful art work. I truly feel like a different person.Thank you MarishaSee you again soon

I have had three appointments with Gord. He is a very knowledgeable and personable individual. The problem I went in with initially seems to be improving, although not 100% resolved. He agreed that to test the effectiveness of the treatments, I should stop them and see if the problem gets worse. If so, then I could return for more treatment. I would definitely return to see him!

I had neck pain for a year, and I tried many treatments, but nothing seemed to work. Then I decided to try acupuncture with Gord, and it was amazing! The pain went away after the first treatment. Today, after almost three months, I visited again. I still don't have any pain, but I do have some muscle tension. I hope that will also go away with time. If you're looking for pain relief, I highly recommend visiting Gord!

He’s always so warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and there’s no doubt that you’ll leave ATP relaxed and better than when you came in. Him and the environment are just good vibes - highly recommend.

Gord, at Acupuncture Turning Point, creates a warm, relaxing and inviting atmosphere at the clinic. His philosophy about health and wellness and life comes from a place of whole body/mind awareness - covering mind, body, emotions and spirit this is a refreshing change from western healthcare beliefs.Gord has provided me relief from pain and the release of tension to allow healing to begin/continue, with both needling, cupping and taping. I always feel comfortable, safe and at ease when in Gord's care. And I always feel a sense of release and renewed strength after treatments.

This was my first ever experience with acupuncture and cupping therapy and Dr. Grant made me feel especially welcome and I immediately felt a certain comfort & relaxation after first talking with him.He is extremely thorough & really takes the time to understand your situation and shows a lot of compassion for what it is you’re going through. He provided excellent conversation throughout and gave helpful, knowledgeable tips & remedies to try on my own as well.I immediately felt a release of tension throughout my entire body after my session was complete, so much that it even brought me to tears(happy tears not sad lol)The office space is also very serene using water fountains and plant life to really help in calming your mind and energy upon arrival. Highly recommend!!! I’d give a 6 star rating if I could!And to top it all off, I even left with a very thoughtful gift! A beautiful jade plant for myself and my gf. Come on… how can you beat that!?
