William Jordan, Registered Acupuncturist

William is a Registered Acupuncturist and a member of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario (CTCMPAO). His ultimate goal is to get people back to doing the things they love while creating a lot of smiles in a short time with the spirit of acupuncture. 

His treatments are aimed at opening up the physical blockages and stagnation in the vessels, tissues, and fascia - promoting movement and circulation so the body can utilize its own self-healing abilities and return to a general harmony between body, mind, and soul. 

Good health and well-being are a result of free-flowing circulation and balance. When things aren't moving well, they become stagnant and the condition eventually deteriorates, distorting function and ultimately destroying health. He believes that good therapy and the path to good well-being don't require costly interventions and fancy machinery. 

Whatever your pace or purpose, he hopes you make a little time for your mind and body amid the busyness of the everyday. William treats a broad range of health concerns from acute & chronic pain, anxiety/depression, digestive disorders, TMJ, migraines, bells palsy, and infertility.
