Welcome

IMPORTANT UPDATE: We have moved! Located at 198 Des Newman Blvd.(the new Whitby Health Center), we are happy to call this place our new home as we continue to promote a healthier community in the Durham region.

We are classically trained in Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and have been supporting a healthier community in Durham region since 2001. Our practitioners are designated with both Registered Acupuncturists (R.Ac) and Registered TCM Practitioners (R.TCMP) with specialized skills in Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, and other TCM modalities to treat various conditions. We believe in a collaborative team approach, which includes you and your healthcare team.

TCM promotes well-being for people of diversity and all ages. Like nature, it is built on the premise that good health relies on the restoration and maintenance of harmony and balance by empowering the body's own healing abilities.

The strengths of TCM is important in today’s healthcare - includes improved quality of life, increased ability to prevent bodily complications, shorter recovery periods, and a lessened dependence on drugs that have long-term side effects.

Through demands of health consumers, TCM has been rediscovered as we contribute to the World Health Organization motto: “Health for All.”

What Is Traditional Chinese Medicine?

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a wealth of medical knowledge developed in China from over 4,000 years of observation, investigation, and clinical experience.

TCM has evolved as an empirical science, and its theories and treatments have been repeatedly in use and refined over this long period of time. Now TCM is promoted by World Health Organization (WHO) in over 100 countries, including Canada, United States, and United Kingdom, attributed by the positive benefits of TCM: cost-efficiency, clinical efficacy, and the principle of "First, do no harm.”

The modalities used in TCM are both traditional and integrative:  acupuncture, herbal medicine, gua sha, cupping, moxibustion, laser therapy, nutritional and lifestyle advice, Qigong, TCM orthopedics, laser therapy, and Tui Na. Depending on the individual’s case and the practitioner's intent and skills, one modality or a combination of modalities would be used to support the healing process of the individual.
