Hello everyone! My name is Dilshad Alvi, R.Ac., RMT, FST, CNP, NAET, SAAT. I am a Registered Acupuncturist, Registered Massage Therapist, Fascial Stretch Therapist, Certified Nutritionist, as well as a Certified NAET (Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique) and SAAT (Soliman Auricular Allergy Technique) practitioner. I have been in private practice for over 22 years and work with a variety of clientele who suffer from musculoskeletal pain. My passion is helping people get out of pain…FAST and designing customized blueprints for long-term pain relief and well-being. I help people who want to relieve pain, feel great, maximize their performance, and connect with their untapped potential.
 
As a former competitive hockey player, I have been involved in the sport, health and fitness field for more than 25 years. After suffering from recurrent illnesses and injuries, my path to rehabilitation and wellness created a desire for me to work with similar people in a non-invasive, holistic manner. 
 
Active Acupuncture method is a fusion based treatment that utilizes a variety of different acupuncture systems, soft tissue/manual therapies and therapeutic/corrective exercises within a single treatment to help relieve all types of musculoskeletal pain almost instantaneously! I also use herbal, homeopathic nutritional and lifestyle protocols to enhance the effects of my treatments when necessary. 
 
In addition to working with my personal clients, a large part of my time is invested in wellness education and the impact optimal health brings to individual performance, both personally and professionally. I have been blessed to study all across the world with leading experts in the fields of pain management, sports medicine, natural medicine and holistic lifestyle and incorporate what I have learned into treatment plans that deliver immediate results! .
 
My resume includes working with professional athletes (NHL, AHL, CFL, MLB, UFC and professional body builders) film production personnel, celebrities, business professionals, senior citizens, young children and everyone in between. I am also experienced in the treatment of auto and work related injuries in a variety of clinical settings. I also do public speaking and consult with many sports teams and organizations around sports recovery, injury/illness prevention and performance optimization.
 
My purpose and mission in life is to inspire and invoke change in people to take better care of themselves so they can live pain-free and stay active throughout their whole life. Healthy living is achieved by treating your body with love and respect. If you want it to perform at optimal levels, you need to take better care of it…let me show you how!
