A Toronto and North York clinic specializing in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese medicine to treat chronic pain and gynecology conditions. Focus on ailments such as back pain, sciatica, headaches, IBS, insomia, infertility, eczema, asthma, and much more.

I could list a multitude of ailments that I can help with, but helping you find the priority for treatment is my specialty. Often times, after dealing with the priority, other symptoms improve or fall away. This is the case even with pain. Pain is always an indicator and sometimes it is indicating a problem right where it hurts, sometimes it is indicating something that is a priority elsewhere in the body.
