What is Contemporary Medical Acupuncture?

By stimulating sensory nerves in the muscles, the body will produce natural substances such as endorphins to help relieve pain.

Contemporary Medical Acupuncture connects classic acupuncture with modern medicine to create a science-based acupuncture application. After a thorough physical examination, we will be able to properly diagnose the issue causing your pain. From here a treatment plan is created and we will precisely insert small, single-use, disposable acupuncture needles into relevant points on the body. Combined with peripheral nerve stimulation, the purpose of this technique is to change any abnormal activity of the nervous system or alter nerve flow. Acupuncture needles are inserted into neurofunctional sites and stimulated manually or with electricity.

Osteopathic Manual therapy is the practical implementation of the principles of Osteopathy. Treatment will always consider motion restriction and asymmetries in the body, with the goal of facilitating normal movement. This means that your visit to an Osteopathic office will include a dynamic assessment of the way your body moves, followed by a treatment plan designed specifically for you.

Treatment will include joint mobilization and soft tissue treatment to remove any obstacles that interfere with the proper nutrition and drainage of your body’s tissue. It is through a deep understanding of anatomy and physiology, and with excellent palpation skills, that an osteopathic manual therapist is able to detect and treat these restrictions. It is a unique approach to manual therapy that aims to treat the cause of the symptom rather than simply reducing it temporarily.

Laura has always had a passion for leading a healthy and active lifestyle. Doing so has led her to discover her love for alternative, holistic healing practices.

Laura first discovered osteopathy while completing her Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology at The University of Waterloo. After a back injury left her with severe pain for almost 3 years, and exhausting all other therapies that she knew of, Laura was recommended to see an osteopath. Within a few treatments she was almost pain free. This ignited her interest in learning more about a manual therapy that was less of a short-term solution and had long lasting effects.

In 2018 Laura graduated from the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy with a Master’s in Osteopathic Manual Sciences (M.OMSc.), with over 4200 hours of education and clinical training. She is enthusiastic about sharing the benefits of osteopathy and helping patients become more knowledgeable and self-aware about how the body functions and has the ability to self-heal.

Laura has an interest, specifically, in helping those with chronic pain. Her background in strength and conditioning as well as yoga and breathwork, allows her to help her patients by also educating and providing suggestions for self-care between appointments to help them achieve their ideal health. By using a holistic approach to treatment that focuses on self-awareness and prevention instead of reaction, Laura is able to not only educate her patients but give them the confidence to understand their own unique body.

When not in the clinic, Laura can be found with her horse and two dogs. Laura spends the majority of her free time training and competing in Show Jumping. Her and her husband both share a love for the mountains and being outdoors, which led them to move to Calgary in 2022.

Laura is a registered Manual Osteopathic Practitioner with OSTCAN Alberta in good standing. She is covered by all Alberta Extended Health Plans.
