Acupuncture

Acupuncture at Move RX

Acupuncture involves insertion of thin sterile needles into specific points in the body. These points are used to stimulate the nervous system and blood flow to aid the bodies natural healing mechanisms and in doing so, coerces the body back to homeostasis. Your acupuncturist, Fallon will use their diagnostic approach to specifically design a treatment catered to your needs. Often imbalances in the body will be addressed as yin, yang, qi and blood.

While these concepts may seem foreign, they describe normal physiological responses. For example, an acupuncturist when using the term ‘qi’ is really just talking about metabolism and overall energy

Benefits of Acupuncture

  • Address the root cause of pain, tackling it at the source

  • Promotes physical and mental well being through treating the body as a whole

  • Supports the bodies natural healing process

  • Soothes the nervous system to address disharmony (such as anxiety, depression)

What Should I Expect From My Appointment?

If you're a new patient at Move RX, you'll begin by completing a questionnaire and health form. Our acupuncturist, Fallon will then discuss any medical conditions and expectations to tailor the therapy session.

Once ready, you'll be led to a private room, where the acupuncturist will give you time to get comfortable. Techniques may vary, but the focus is on inserting needles in specific areas based on your needs. Depending on the treatment area, you may be unclothed, with the acupuncturist undraping and working on one section at a time while the rest remains covered. Additional forms of stimulation like heat, pressure, friction, suction, or electromagnetic impulses may be used.

After the session, the licensed acupuncturist will assist you in getting up slowly, providing privacy for you to dress if needed. Come prepared to relax and discover why Move RX offers top-notch acupuncture services.

About Fallon Drinkall

Registered Chinese Medicine Practitioner (RTCMP) and Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac) 

Within her practice at Move RX, Fallon's goal is to provide patients with a sense of spaciousness, allowing them to arrive as they are and facilitating a healing state for whatever challenges they may be facing. Her approach seamlessly integrates Western anatomical sciences with Eastern holism, recognizing that the mind and body are not separate concepts but intricately connected

Acupuncture and Women’s Health

“Throughout my years of practice and study, I've felt a deep calling to women's health. The various phases and fluctuations women experience throughout their lives deserve careful attention and support. Watching my mother, grandmother, sisters, and friends navigate the challenges of "hormonal mayhem" inspired me to dedicate myself to this field. This practice is the result of years of rigorous study and countless hours in the clinic, which have shaped the very foundation of my approach.


In a world filled with so much misinformation, I’m passionate about empowering my patients with knowledge about their health and providing them with the tools they need to see real results alongside their treatments. I incorporate breathwork, offer personalized nutrition advice, and often recommend home care routines to complement their healing journey.


I believe deeply in offering people not just care, but also spaciousness and warmth. For me, showing up in healthcare with an integrated approach—blending Western science with Eastern practices—has proven to be invaluable. This combination gives me a well-rounded framework for diagnosis and treatment, and it’s something I hold close to my heart.
I’ve seen the power of this medicine not only in the patients I treat but in my own life as well. Offering women compassionate, effective, and holistic care is truly one of my greatest joys.”

-Fallon Drinkall, RTCMP, R.Ac

 Questions We Often Hear

  • Often our patients feel their muscles are overexerted through their training. Regular acupuncture can support recovery, prevent injuries and benefit overall health.

  • Acupuncture in Kelowna allows us to see all types of conditions. From patients recovering from general muscle and joint pain to more severe chronic pain or digestive, emotional, gynecological, musculoskeletal, neurological, and respiratory conditions.

  • We do! We offer direct billing and accept ICBC claims. Find out more information here.

  • We want to ensure that you are comfortable. Some people choose to take off all their clothes, some keep on underwear and socks, while others will undress only the body parts that are being treated.

    Acupuncture is designed to insert tiny needles directly into your skin. If you want to wear clothes, bring a clothing item you would feel comfortable in that still allows the acupuncturist to access specific body parts, such as a bathing suit or shorts and a tank top.

  • Most Canadian and BC health care benefit packages include special treatments as part of their coverage. To find out if you are covered or not, you should contact your insurance provider and ask.

  • Acupuncturists are only registered after successfully completing an approved program of study, successful completion of an approved examination and at least 500 hours of practice within two years prior to application for their licence.

    MoveRX also believes in having our team continue their education, allowing our team members to specialize in areas they are interested in and passionate about.
