Acupuncture
Planned around your own history and constitution rather than a fixed protocol. Needles are single-use and very fine.
JS Cosmetic & TCM Clinic · Traditional Chinese Medicine
Acupuncture and herbal medicine
The foundation of everything at the clinic: classical acupuncture and individually prescribed herbal formulas, from a practitioner trained at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.
People often come for
- Neck, shoulder and back pain
- Pain and stiffness after a car accident
- Headaches
- Colds that linger or keep coming back
- Digestive discomfort
- Trouble sleeping
- Ongoing fatigue and stress
Diagnosis the traditional way
A first visit covers your health history, then pulse and tongue assessment. From this Janice decides whether acupuncture, herbs or both make sense for you.
Treatments
Herbal medicine
Individually prescribed formulas, adjusted as your condition changes.
Pain treatment
Acupuncture for neck, shoulder, back and knee pain, headaches, and stiffness from desk work or strain. Janice checks where the pain comes from and how long you have had it before planning treatment.
Colds
Acupuncture and herbal medicine for cough, sore throat, congestion, chills and body aches, and for colds that linger or keep coming back.
Car accident recovery
Acupuncture for neck, shoulder and back pain, headaches and stiffness that follow a collision. If you have an ICBC claim, mention it when you book and ask about coverage.
If you have a diagnosed condition or take prescription medication, please mention it when you book. For a high fever, trouble breathing, or sudden severe pain, see a physician first.
