We Look Your Body Not Symptoms Only
When your health condition is not getting better under your current treatment approach, consider a holistic approach. We aim at correcting the balance of your body and improving your health as a whole. It can be an alternative or complementary treatment for you. We believe treatments should be proven, effective, and safe. And we do our best to find the most effective plan to treat the condition you have. Many illnesses, especially chronic health conditions, are structural, functional, and/or psychological problems.
Structural
An evaluation is necessary to determine if the pain is the result of a musculoskeletal injury or part of a systemic problem.
Functional
The functional disease(e.g. IBS) does not only cause physical suffering but also has a great impact on people’s quality of life.
Psychological
Stress, anxiety can also lead to insomnia , and poor health is just one side effect from lack of sleep.

Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practices draw from holistic Eastern healing techniques. Acupuncture is the most common technique used. It improves health and stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanisms by stimulating acupressure points/meridians using a fine, sterile needle. Pressure, heat, or electrical stimulation may further enhance the effects. You do not need a physician’s referral to attend acupuncture sessions. ICBC allows Acupuncturists in BC to directly bill for treatments provided to patients who have sustained injuries in a motor vehicle accident. Some extended health plans may cover the cost of the treatment as well. Please review your private insurance plan for more details.
