The following information is essential for the diagnostic procedure and helps us provide you
with better treatment.
What to do before and after treatment?
These are general guidelines that are recommended to respect in order to reap the full benefits of the treatment. It is important to note that acupuncture has very few side effect and any that do occur are generally mild and self-correcting. These feelings are representative of the body expressing itself as it heals.

 Right before treatment it is advisable to avoid consuming alcohol, caffeine or any other stimulant that may affect your pulse and energy flows in the body.

 It is recommended to eat a good, wholesome meal with some protein. This is especially important for individuals with blood sugar swings and who are hypoglycemic. Acupuncture stimulates the body and it needs energy in order to maximize the treatments potential.

 Tell the acupuncturist if you are sleep deprived or really stressed out. This information is important for treatment planning and helps decide what techniques will be used.

 After treatment it is important to give oneself time to rest. One should refrain from vigorous exercise (heavy lifting, long-distance biking…) as well as eating a heavy meal with processed and heavy foods. It is also important to protect oneself from the elements, as cold conditions can bring on stagnation and pain.

 Golden rules for a prosperous acupuncture treatment:
- Avoid alcohol before and after treatment
- Avoid coming in hungry
- Take is easy and honor your bodies healing

Functional Medicine/TCM/Covid19

Functional Medicine: offerings and suggestions in prevention of Covid19 disease. (For Traditional Chinese Medicine approach please see my previous blog). Originally this blog was to look at all the similarities between the Functional and Eastern Medicine. However, since the recent pandemic of covid-19, I decided to start, to focus on what is in front of us.

An Unjust Situation: Why Can't Our Patients Receive Federal Extended Medical Coverage for their Acupuncture Treatments in BC?

An Unjust Situation: Why Can't Our Patients Receive Federal Extended Medical Coverage for their Acupuncture Treatments? November 15, 2019 In the spirit of helping our helping profession, I would like to update you and elicit your support in the campaign I launched last year (2018), aiming to address the current lack of medical insurance coverage for federal employees wishing to receive treatments from registered acupuncturists in BC. As the correspondence below illustrates, the present situation reflects an unfair bias against registered acupuncturists – whose services are not covered under extended health plans (SunLife of Canada), while acupuncture provided by certain other professions (i.e. not acupuncturists) is covered. I would like to thank ATCMA President Jason Tutt and editor Chery...
