Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles at specific points to restore energy flow and treat conditions like chronic pain, stress, and digestive issues. Our treatments use sterile, single-use needles in a relaxing environment. Patients often report improved sleep and reduced inflammation after sessions.
Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulations address systemic imbalances, supporting recovery from ailments like arthritis and hormonal disorders. We source high-quality ingredients following strict safety standards. Treatments are tailored to individual constitutions for maximum efficacy.
Deep Tissue Massage
Targeted massage techniques relieve chronic muscle tension and improve circulation. Sessions focus on problem areas like shoulders and backs, using pressure adjusted to client comfort. Regular treatments help maintain mobility and prevent injury recurrence.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping uses controlled suction to release muscle knots and detoxify tissues. This ancient technique enhances blood flow and reduces inflammation, particularly effective for back pain and respiratory conditions. Sessions leave skin temporarily marked but patients report lasting relief.
Cosmetic Acupuncture
This non-invasive treatment reduces fine lines and improves skin tone by stimulating collagen production. Fine needles target facial muscles and meridians, promoting circulation for a natural lift. Regular sessions enhance overall facial radiance without downtime.

Questions
What conditions can TCM treat?
TCM effectively addresses chronic pain, stress, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and respiratory conditions. We also treat fertility concerns and neurological disorders through acupuncture and herbal medicine.
How does acupuncture work?
Acupuncture stimulates specific points to restore energy flow (Qi) and trigger the body's natural healing. It releases endorphins, reduces inflammation, and improves circulation for lasting symptom relief.
Is TCM compatible with Western medicine?
Yes, we work alongside conventional treatments. Dr Qi collaborates with GPs when needed, using TCM to complement pharmaceutical approaches and enhance recovery from surgeries or chronic illnesses.
What happens during the first visit?
Your initial consultation includes a detailed health history, tongue/pulse diagnosis, and treatment plan. Expect 90 minutes for assessment and first acupuncture session, with herbal recommendations if needed.
Are treatments covered by insurance?
Some private health insurers cover acupuncture. Check with your provider for TCM coverage details. We provide receipts for potential reimbursement even if direct billing isn't available.

Amazing experience with this therapy. Went in with lower back pains and after acupuncture this has really helped. I have also suffered from undefined chest pains for nearly 2 years and was given medicine to take daily for the pain. During my first appointment at YanHuang Health Care I was informed that the cause was due to issues in my back. Since then I have not had to take medicine for 3 weeks so far and this is the first time in nearly 2 years.
Amazing, I would highly recommend to anyone for any issues you are having. Friendly and attentive

I visited last week for my first consultation and acupuncture session. Dr Qi was wonderful and gave me more information about my symptons than any western Doctor has in the last two years. Very friendly too. I'm hopeful that my ongoing treatment will help my body over the next few months. It can be pricey but one of the best investments you will ever make is your health.
