Traditional Chinese Medicine
The ancient treatment techniques of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) have stood the test of time, having evolved over thousands of years. This form of healing utilizes yinyang and the 5 element theory to diagnose illness. Treatment is based on these principals and are individual to each patient.
​​
Our Saskatoon based Doctor of TCM uses various psychological and/or physical approaches including cupping, electrical stimulation, gua sha, dietary therapy and tui na massage, as well as herbal products to address your health concerns. Acupuncture is also a therapeutic technique utilized in TCM, which involves the use of needles to treat a wide array of physical, mental and emotional conditions.
