I want to care for my body
If you live with chronic pain, poor sleep, post-operative fatigue or autonomic imbalance, this page explains what the clinic treats, how visits work, and how to book — so you know what to expect before you arrive.
What the clinic mainly treats
Care begins with Chinese medical pattern differentiation, read together with your existing Western investigations.
- ・Chronic pain and neuropathic pain
- ・Support around cancer surgery and treatment (adjunct only; it does not replace Western care)
- ・Degenerative joints and musculoskeletal problems
- ・Sleep and autonomic imbalance
How a visit works
- ・STEP 1 Book online or by phone (appointments only)
- ・STEP 2 First-visit history and four examinations
- ・STEP 3 Individual prescription and treatment (herbs, acupuncture that retains qi)
- ・STEP 4 Follow-up and adjustment, usually every 2–4 weeks
Please bring
- ・Recent Western labs or imaging (blood tests, ultrasound, X-ray, MRI)
- ・A full list of medicines and supplements you take
- ・A timeline of symptoms: when they began, when they worsen, what you have tried
- ・Please tell us if you are pregnant or nursing, have a clotting disorder, a pacemaker, or liver or kidney impairment
Please note
No course of care can guarantee a result; responses vary. Unexplained weight loss, persistent fever, black stools, blood in urine or clear neurological signs need a full Western work-up first. Do not stop anti-anxiety, antidepressant or sleeping medicines on your own.
