In the West there are two mistaken ideas about acupuncture
- 1) the idea that acupuncture is only for relieving pain, and
2) the idea that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) only consists of acupuncture!
In reality, in China, acupuncture is seldom used on its own. It has been used and continues to be used for treatment and more importantly for the PREVENTION of most ailments.
It is right to say that Acupuncture and Herbs are equally as important as each other neither, on its own, CAN be claimed as being the whole of TCM.
Acupoint Needle
The acupoint needle is so fine that it can pass through the inside of an ordinary injection needle!
Mr. Chan uses ONCE ONLY disposable Acupoint needles.
You could help in gaining access to some of the acupoints by wearing loose clothing (e.g. tracksuit) for the treatment sessions.
Lady patients could bring a friend along as chaperone.
Confidentiality
Bound by the Chinese Medicine’s code of practice and ethics Mr Chan will treat you in utmost confidentiality.
Acupuncture works for ALL denominations of religions, you do not have to be ‘receptive’ to TCM to make the treatment work!
