Acupuncture in Kanata & Ottawa .

Restore Balance, Relieve Pain, and Feel Your Best 

Acupuncture is a safe, natural therapy that’s been practiced for thousands of years to reduce pain, calm the nervous system, and support overall health. By stimulating specific points in the body with fine, sterile needles, acupuncture activates your body’s own healing process—helping you feel lighter, calmer, and more at ease. 

At KNFChiro in Kanata, our registered acupuncturist Hedyeh Payamipour brings over 15 years of experience and a compassionate approach to care. Whether you’re looking for relief from stress, better sleep, support with hormonal balance, or help managing chronic pain, acupuncture can make a meaningful difference. 

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a holistic health system that addresses the body, mind, and emotions. Modern research shows that acupuncture helps by: 

  • Improving circulation 

  • Calming the stress response 

  • Releasing natural pain-relieving endorphins 

  • Reducing inflammation and tension 

This makes acupuncture a versatile therapy for both everyday wellness and specific health concerns

Meet Your Acupuncturist – Hedyeh Payamipour 

Hi, I’m Hedyeh, and I’m so happy to be part of the team at KNFChiro! 

I’ve been practicing acupuncture since 2008, after graduating with honours from the International Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Ottawa. My journey began when I experienced the healing effects of acupuncture myself, inspiring me to share those benefits with others. 

My approach is gentle, supportive, and grounded in listening. I take the time to understand what’s going on physically, emotionally, and energetically so you feel seen and supported. Over the years, I’ve worked with people navigating stress, hormonal changes, chronic pain, sleep difficulties, and more. 

I also integrate cupping, gua sha, and natural nutrition when helpful. One of my favourite parts of this work is seeing the calm settle in after a treatment, it’s a beautiful shift. 

Outside of the clinic, I enjoy painting with watercolours and spending time in cozy coffee shops. 

If you’re curious about acupuncture or looking for a safe, natural way to support your well-being, I’d love to help.
