Types of Treatments
Chinese medicine offers a variety of treatment tools. At every session Shai chooses the combination that suits the person, the problem and the stage they are at – sometimes combining several methods in one treatment.
Acupuncture
The main treatment tool of Chinese medicine: fine, sterile, single-use needles placed at precise points on the body to relieve pain and restore the body’s balance.
Suitable for back, neck, knee and shoulder pain, migraines, sleep and digestive problems, hormonal balance and fertility support. Treatment begins with a full Chinese medicine diagnosis – questions, tongue and pulse – and is built personally for each patient.
