Pain Relief & Pain Management
 
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that pains are the result of blockage, or lack of nourishment or energy ("Chi" under TCM), or coldness/dampness etc.  If the pain is due to blockage, we will resolve the blockage using acupuncture, herb formula, moxibustion or scraping. If the pain is caused by lack of nourishment or energy/Chi, we will help clients to improve their digestion by providing diet, life style advice together with our tonification treatment. If the pain is due to coldness/dampness, we will help the client to disperse the coldness and resolve the dampness using acupuncture, herb formula and moxibustion treatment, cupping etc.
 
Pain may happen on the shoulder, around knee, elbow, lower back or even on the head. We will then apply different acupoints or herbs to target the affected parts of the body.
 
Acupuncture/Moxibustion/Herb Formula is efficative for pain management has been proved by many studies. Its efficacy is even better than medication, plus with almost no side-effects.

  • Headaches/Migraines

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Arthritis
  • Diabetic Foot
 
 
 
Digestion Issues
 
Digestion (e.g. transmission& transportation of food/nutrients under TCM) is required for body recovery and healing. Thus we pay great attention to digestion issues.
 
TCM has its own interpretation about digestion issue. For example, some clients may think it is normal to have stomach bloating after eating or it is ok to have hiccups. However TCM thinks it is feedback from your digestion system, those symptoms can mean your digestion system is not happy about the food you eat or there is some reverse of energy flow in your digestion system. Under this circumstance, we need to apply TCM treatment to your digestion system such as acupuncture/moxibustion. You are very likely to notice very good results wthin a few treatments. 
 
Studies also show moxibustion works very well with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and other digestion issues.
 
We also provide dietary advice for clients to assist them building up their own comfortable life style.
