5 out of 5 stars10/10 — I would highly recommend MedRehab Group Georgetown to family and friends! From my very first visit through my ongoing treatment sessions, the entire team has been warm, friendly, courteous, and very accommodating. Every detail of my treatment plan has been handled with care and attentiveness. From the initial intake (thanks Deandra & Jazz) and assessment to pairing me with a physiotherapist (thanks Hrma) who was compatible with my needs, I have felt genuinely supported throughout my ongoing recovery. The team works collaboratively to ensure I receive the best possible care to help me recover, heal, and be well. They have also been extremely supportive throughout the MVA process, helping to ensure that the necessary forms and documentation are completed and submitted without unnecessary delay. This has made an already challenging process much easier to navigate. As my treatment continues, upon visits the team regularly checks in with me to see whether there have been any changes, health concerns, or issues that need to be addressed. They are attentive and willing to make adjustments to my treatment when necessary. I truly appreciate this level of care, professionalism, and support. I would highly recommend MedRehab Group Georgetown to family, friends, and anyone looking for a supportive and caring rehabilitation team.

5 out of 5 starsAqsa was amazing for the physiotherapy on my teenage son’s knees. Her hands on treatment along with laser therapy saw great progress in a short period of time. She gave him a reasonable set of exercises with clear explanations that he was able to follow along with easily. Highly recommend and will keep her in mind for future needs

5 out of 5 starsI’ve been getting my therapy at MedRehab Clinic and have had a really great experience so far. Amarjot, my physiotherapist, is very knowledgeable, patient, and takes the time to explain everything properly. Supreet, the PTA, is also very helpful and caring during the sessions. Kulvir, the massage therapist, provides excellent treatment and always makes sure I’m comfortable. The front desk team, Jazz and Jaya, are friendly, welcoming, and helpful every time I visit. Overall, the whole team provides excellent service and genuinely cares about their patients. I’m very happy with my experience at MedRehab Clinic and would definitely recommend them.

Acupuncture in Georgetown
Welcome to Sinclair Avenue. Audrey Leslie is the registered acupuncturist at our Georgetown clinic, 99 Sinclair Avenue, Unit 110, a block off Guelph Street, and she works inside a full rehabilitation team: five physiotherapists, a chiropractor, two massage therapists and an osteopath, all sharing one file. That changes what acupuncture is for here. Rather than a stand-alone treatment, it is the tool the team reaches for when pain, muscle tension or a slow recovery is holding a plan back.
New to this treatment? Acupuncture treatment, safety and insurance.
What we treat with acupuncture in Georgetown
The research is strongest for pain, and that is how Audrey uses it: persistent low back and neck pain that has plateaued with hands-on work, knee pain from osteoarthritis, tension-type headaches and migraine prevention, and the tight, tender muscle problem that underlies a lot of neck and shoulder trouble. Around one visit in twenty at this clinic is acupuncture, and most of those come by referral from a physiotherapist down the hall.
- Chronic low back and neck pain, especially where tension keeps returning
- Headaches and migraine, as a way of reducing how often they come
- Knee, hip and shoulder pain, including osteoarthritis
- Tight muscles that limit progress in physiotherapy or massage
- Recovery after a collision, as part of a plan with our physiotherapists
- Stress, poor sleep and fatigue that sit alongside a pain problem
Acupuncture within traditional Chinese medicine covers far more than sore backs, and Audrey sees people for the wider range too, assessed in the traditional framework and treated with the same sterile single-use needles:
- Stress, anxiety and trouble sleeping
- Digestive complaints such as bloating, reflux and irritable bowel symptoms
- Women’s health: painful or irregular periods, menopause symptoms, and support alongside fertility care
- Pregnancy-related nausea, back pain and discomfort, with points adapted to each stage
- Seasonal allergies, sinus congestion and recurring colds
- Fatigue and low energy
- Jaw pain, teeth clenching and TMJ symptoms
- Nerve symptoms such as tingling and numbness, once serious causes are ruled out
- Recovery after illness or surgery, and general wellbeing
Where the evidence is strongest you will hear that, and where it is thinner you will hear that too; nobody here is paid to keep you coming.
What acupuncture will not do is unlock a stiff joint, repair a torn ligament or replace the strengthening that fixes a weak one. If the assessment shows the problem is structural, you are referred to the physiotherapists at our Georgetown clinic or the chiropractor in the same building.
What a session is like
Fine, sterile, single-use needles are placed at points chosen for your problem and left in for twenty to thirty minutes while you rest. Most people feel a brief prick and then a dull ache, heaviness or warmth at the point, which is the intended sensation, and many find the session relaxing. Small bruises at needle sites are common and harmless. You can drive and go back to work afterwards.
Your first appointment
Longer than a follow-up, usually forty-five minutes to an hour. Audrey takes a full history, including things that may seem unrelated, sleep, digestion, stress, because traditional assessment looks at the whole picture, then examines the area and explains what she proposes. Wear loose clothing that rolls above the knee and elbow, and eat something light beforehand.
Coverage
Most extended health plans cover acupuncture when it is provided by a registered acupuncturist, usually to an annual limit, and Audrey is registered with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario. We bill most major insurers directly. Acupuncture from a registered acupuncturist is exempt from HST and is not covered by OHIP. After a collision it can be funded through your auto insurance accident benefits when it is part of an approved treatment plan.
Questions we hear in Georgetown
What are your hours? Monday and Wednesday 10am to 8pm, Tuesday 9am to 7pm, Thursday 9am to 9pm, Friday 9am to 5pm, Saturday 9am to 2pm. Acupuncture runs on Audrey’s days; ask when you book.
How many sessions will I need? Usually a course of four to eight, once or twice a week, then a review. If nothing has changed after a fair trial, the plan changes rather than continuing.
Can I have acupuncture and physiotherapy in the same plan? Yes, and it is the usual pattern here. Separate appointments, shared notes, and insurance usually covers each under its own category.
Does it hurt? Rarely. The needles are far thinner than injection needles. Say so if anything feels sharp and it is adjusted.
Do I need a referral? No. Some insurers want a doctor’s note; check your plan.
Where do I park? Free parking at the building; the clinic is Unit 110. Georgetown GO is a few minutes away.
