Meet Dr. Robert Cumming
Dr. Cumming brings more than 35 years of healthcare excellence to his acupuncture practice. He has a Doctor of Chiropractic degree with certification in clinical acupuncture and a fellowship designation with the Canadian Chiropractic Specialty College of Physical and Occupational Rehabilitation.
He integrates acupuncture with other therapeutic modalities, providing additional benefits to his patients. As both a chiropractor and acupuncturist, Dr. Cumming understands how these ancient techniques can work synergistically with modern treatments to accelerate healing and provide lasting pain relief.
How Acupuncture Works
During acupuncture, ultra-fine needles are inserted at specific points on your body to stimulate endorphins—your body’s natural pain relievers—while enhancing your healing abilities. These carefully selected acupuncture points correspond to energy pathways that, when properly stimulated, can restore balance and promote healing throughout the body’s systems.
This approach works with your body’s existing healing mechanisms to alleviate pain and discomfort, rather than masking symptoms with medications. By addressing your symptoms and the underlying imbalances that caused them, acupuncture often provides relief that lasts long after your treatment session ends.
Encouraging Your Body’s Healing Power
Acupuncture has proven effective for many health conditions, from acute pain and injuries to chronic health challenges that haven’t responded well to other treatments.
Dr. Cumming has successfully used acupuncture for his patients’ conditions including chronic back and neck pain, headaches and migraines, arthritis and joint inflammation, sports injuries and muscle tension.
What to Expect During Your Experience
The first step is a consultation with Dr. Cumming. He will review your health history, current concerns, and treatment goals. This Traditional Chinese Medicine assessment may include examining your tongue, checking your pulse, and discussing symptoms that might seem unrelated but actually provide important clues about your overall health balance.
During treatment, ultra-fine needles are then gently inserted at specific points and typically remain in place for 15-60 minutes, depending on your condition and experience level.
If you’re new to acupuncture, Dr. Cumming will start with shorter sessions to ensure your comfort. Most patients find the experience deeply relaxing, and many notice improvements immediately, though some conditions may require several sessions for optimal results.
