Does acupuncture hurt?
It’s a common misconception that acupuncture is very painful — it isn’t. Our acupuncturists are highly skilled in the placement of needles, both in location and pressure, and we offer gentle styles such as superficial needling if you’re new or sensitive. Just let us know your preferences.
What are the benefits of massage therapy?
Massage therapy benefits you both physically and emotionally. People often emphasize the physical side, but both are equally important. Benefits can include:
- Reduced pain
- Stress management
- Improved range of motion
- Better sleep
Can TCM help with menopause symptoms?
Many people use acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine for support through perimenopause and menopause, including hot flashes, night sweats, sleep and mood. Your practitioner will tailor treatment to your symptoms, and it works alongside — not instead of — care from your doctor. Learn about TCM for women’s health.
What is direct billing?
With direct billing, we submit the claim to your insurance provider on your behalf. Depending on your policy, you pay less at each visit instead of paying in full and waiting for a reimbursement. We direct bill ICBC, MSP, WorkSafeBC and most major extended health providers.
I was in a car accident. Is acupuncture covered?
Yes — with an ICBC claim you are automatically eligible for 12 free acupuncture sessions, and we bill ICBC directly. Bring your claim number to your first appointment.
