ACUPUNCTURE & TCM
Healthcare Rooted in Tradition
TCM or Traditional Chinese Medicine is a system of healthcare that’s been in practice for centuries. And, within our family TCM has been practised and passed down for 3 generations. Because of this, our TCM practitioners are equipped with a deeper level of expertise and insight that you won’t find anywhere else! In other words, thanks to our unique family history and generations of acupuncture and TCM experience, we can better assess your health and treat your symptoms.
At Ryo, we offer acupuncture, and a variety of other healthcare services based in TCM. In fact, we’ve developed our own “soft-touch” needle technique, and we provide both traditional and electro-acupuncture. We also offer cupping therapy, moxibustion, herbal medicine counseling, and more.
In addition, all of our treatment plans are completely customized based on your specific symptoms AND lifestyle. By connecting your everyday routine to your overall health, and looking beyond your surface-level symptoms, we can provide permanent, or long-term relief. Plus, you can be sure that your treatment plan is 100% tailored to you.
Finally, if you’ve been in a car accident, we also offer FREE acupuncture treatments through ICBC. No out-of-pocket payments, and easy direct-billing.

ADDITIONAL TCM TREATMENTS
Electro-Acupuncture: This form of therapy is a variation of acupuncture, where a gentle electric current is passed between a pair of acupuncture needles to further stimulate the target area. By doing so, we can encourage localized blood circulation to reduce muscle tension, stiffness, and pain. In addition to treating muscle related issues, electro-acupuncture can also be used to treat neurological disorders.
Cupping Therapy: This form of therapy involves placing cups along the surface of your skin, and applying suction. By doing so, we can release muscle tension and encourage blood flow in order to reduce pain and inflammation.
Dry Cupping: This form of cupping therapy involves placing cups along the surface of your skin, and applying suction without drawing blood. This form of cupping therapy is most common throughout North America. It’s used to treat mild pain and inflammation.
Wet Cupping: This form of cupping therapy involves placing cups along the surface of your skin, and applying suction force after drawing blood. This form of cupping therapy is used to treat more severe cases of pain or inflammation.
Moxibustion: This form of therapy involves placing herbal medicine along the surface of your skin, typically along target acupuncture points, or along specific points related to your body’s Qi. Qi, is a form of energy, and one of the main components of TCM. Moxibustion is most commonly used to treat arthritis, digestion issues, and chronic cold symptoms.
Myofascial Trigger Point Release: This form of therapy involves placing acupuncture needles along “trigger points”, which are specific spots of knotted or hardened muscle tissue. This technique is also known as “dry needling”. Myofascial trigger point release is most commonly used to treat muscle pain and stiffness, and it is a popular treatment for athletes.
