Acupuncture and Massage Therapy Combos
For people who work hard and play hard.
Hi, my name is Elaina Misquadis and I’m an acupuncturist and massage therapist working in West Edmonton
I know you do your best every day, and I’m here to do my best for you.
When you’re always running at 100%, it can be tough to see the initial signs of myofascial dysfunction. It can be tough to see the crisis before it drops on you. If you’re in a crisis right now— whether it’s your neck, shoulders, upper or lower back, elbows, wrists or knees, I’m here to make it feel better, and function better.
And once we get you out of crisis mode, I’m here for you long-term to identify an impending crisis. I’m here to get it before it gets you.

Services
Acupuncture
Sports Type, focusing on musculoskeletal concerns and pain management. Includes techniques such as deep muscular needling, dry needling, electroacupuncture, guasha (scraping), and fire cupping. Best for acute conditions.
Traditional Type, focusing on guiding the body back into proper function. More likely to include a longer acu-nap, smaller needles, lots of heat, and electromoxa. Best for chronic conditions.
Combination Acupuncture and Massage Therapy
Folding together the benefits of both therapies. This dual therapy provides a combination of hands-on approach and a specifically targeted treatment.
It can also be a more relaxing way to experience acupuncture when you might be a little nervous.
Massage Therapy
Simply creating movement where there was none.
Real Talk: I’ve kept my RMT designation mainly for use in combination with acupuncture, and also because I like my existing massage clients. In most cases, when your body is in pain or there’s something that isn’t working right, acupuncture is the more effective, more efficient choice.
