Our TCM approach

Back pain is addressed in TCM according to location, intensity and aggravating factors (cold, fatigue, stress). Acupuncture stimulates points and meridians to support Qi flow, ease pain and aid recovery. Deep tissue massage, Swedish massage and integrative therapies (cupping, moxibustion) may be included in the care plan.
