Acupuncture in Burlington
Naturopathic acupuncture at our Burlington clinic is a gentle, evidence informed therapy designed to support your body’s natural healing processes. Whether you are navigating chronic pain, hormonal shifts, stress, digestive concerns, or low energy, acupuncture works with your whole system rather than targeting symptoms in isolation.
Dr. Lisa Tabrizi, ND, integrates acupuncture into a personalized, root cause approach, looking at how your hormones, stress, sleep, and digestion connect rather than treating one symptom at a time. Many of her patients are women managing midlife hormonal changes, fatigue, or burnout who want care that considers the full picture. If you are looking for a natural therapy that works alongside your current medical care, acupuncture may be a meaningful place to start.
What Is Naturopathic Acupuncture?
Naturopathic acupuncture is a therapeutic treatment used to support the body’s natural healing response by stimulating specific points along energy pathways. It may help individuals experiencing pain, fatigue, hormonal imbalances, digestive concerns, anxiety, poor sleep, or chronic stress. At Dr. Lisa Tabrizi’s Burlington clinic, acupuncture is used as part of a personalized, whole-body care plan that considers hormones, stress, digestion, nutrition, sleep, and lifestyle together. Treatment is tailored to your specific needs and health history. Symptoms such as chest pain, sudden neurological changes, severe unexplained pain, or rapid weight loss should always be assessed by a medical doctor immediately.
Common Concerns Acupuncture May Support
Naturopathic acupuncture may support a range of physical, hormonal, and stress related concerns. Many patients come in managing several of these at once:
- Chronic pain and muscle tension
- Fatigue and low energy
- Hormonal imbalances
- Menopause and perimenopause symptoms
- Digestive concerns, including bloating and nausea
- Anxiety and stress
- Sleep disruption and insomnia
- Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
- Headaches and migraines
- PMS and menstrual irregularities
- Mood changes and emotional overwhelm
- Immune support
- Nervous system dysregulation
This list is not exhaustive. Because acupuncture is used here within a broader naturopathic plan, it can support concerns that overlap or don’t fit neatly into one category. If one or more of these sound familiar, the next step is a conversation with Dr. Lisa,, ND to map out where acupuncture fits into your care and what a realistic plan looks like for your goals.
What Causes These Symptoms? (Why Acupuncture May Help)
Symptoms such as pain, fatigue, hormonal shifts, sleep disruption, and mood changes are often influenced by multiple overlapping factors. These can include:
- Chronic stress and elevated cortisol
- Poor sleep quality
- Nutritional imbalances
- Hormonal fluctuations across the menstrual cycle, perimenopause, or menopause
- Digestive dysfunction affecting nutrient absorption
- Inflammation
- Nervous system dysregulation
Acupuncture works by stimulating the body’s own regulatory systems, helping to restore balance and support how you feel day to day.
At Dr. Lisa Tabrizi, ND’s clinic, your acupuncture care is never one-size-fits-all. It is always part of a bigger-picture plan that takes your full health story into account.

Our Naturopathic Acupuncture Approach
At Dr. Lisa Tabrizi, ND’s Burlington clinic, acupuncture is offered as part of a comprehensive naturopathic care plan rather than a standalone treatment. Dr. Lisa, ND takes time to understand your full health history, lifestyle, hormonal patterns, stress levels, sleep, and goals before recommending a treatment path.
This integrated approach matters because concerns like fatigue, hormonal shifts, poor sleep, and pain rarely trace back to a single cause. Acupuncture can help regulate the nervous system and support the body’s stress response, and it works best when the factors feeding those symptoms are addressed together, which is why it may be combined with nutrition guidance, supplementation, functional lab testing, and mindfulness strategies. As a naturopathic doctor registered with the College of Naturopaths of Ontario, Dr. Lisa, ND brings an evidence informed perspective to every personalized plan.
What to Expect
Initial Consultation Your first appointment is a thorough conversation. Dr. Lisa will review your health history, current symptoms, lifestyle habits, stress patterns, sleep, digestion, and hormonal health to get a complete picture.
Personalized Assessment Based on your intake, Dr. Lisa will identify areas where acupuncture may be most beneficial and how it fits into your broader care plan.
Your First Acupuncture Treatment Needles used in naturopathic acupuncture are very fine and most patients describe the sensation as minimal. Many find the experience calming and leave feeling relaxed.
Follow-Up and Ongoing Care Acupuncture typically works best with a series of treatments. Dr. Lisa will guide you on frequency and how to track your progress along the way.
Integrated Planning Your acupuncture treatment does not exist in isolation. It is woven into a whole-body wellness plan designed around your needs, your lifestyle, and your health goals.
Why Root-Cause Care Matters
Acupuncture, when used within a naturopathic framework, goes beyond pain relief or symptom management. Many of the concerns that bring women to an acupuncture clinic in Burlington, including fatigue, hormonal imbalances, poor sleep, and digestive upset, are often connected to multiple underlying factors. Dr. Lisa, ND’s goal is to understand those factors together and build a plan that supports lasting change rather than temporary relief.

She earned her Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Biological Science from the University of Guelph before completing her four-year naturopathic medical training at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario. Her education included extensive training in clinical diagnosis, anatomy and physiology, laboratory interpretation, nutrition, herbal medicine, acupuncture, lifestyle medicine, and evidence-informed natural therapies.

Acupuncture vs. Dry Needling
Dry needling targets specific trigger points in muscle tissue and is commonly used in physiotherapy for pain relief. Naturopathic acupuncture is rooted in a whole-body approach, addressing not only pain but also hormonal health, digestion, energy, stress, and sleep as part of a broader care plan.
Naturopathic Acupuncture vs. Symptom Management
Conventional symptom management often focuses on reducing discomfort in the short term. Naturopathic acupuncture, as part of a root-cause approach, looks at the factors contributing to symptoms and works to support longer-term balance and wellness.
