Cupping and tui na
Chinese therapeutic massage
Cupping uses special cups to create suction to help address pain, inflammation, relaxation, and overall well being.
Tui Na uses various hand techniques such as gliding, kneading, tapping, friction, pulling, rolling, and pressing to massage the muscles and tendons to remove blockages, promote energy and circulation, and facilitate healing.
30 to 60 minutes including cupping, tui na, or both. Sliding scale $40 - 60, pay what you can. Available with Alana Leask at the Keremeos clinic.
Why sliding scale?
High quality care at affordable rates
Significant change and lasting success can be achieved with consistent acupuncture treatment. Community acupuncture clinics use a sliding scale because we want everyone to have acces to acupuncture, as often as you need to. You decide what you can afford, no questions asked.
Botanicals
Single herbs, traditional formulas and custom herbal remedies tailored to suit your individual needs
Herbal medicine can offer effective results without unwanted effects, when taken properly under qualified professional care. No contact pick up, delivery, and shipping options available.
Nervous about needles?
Acupuncture is widely regarded as safe and relaxing. It is a subtle yet profound form of therapy. Acupuncture pins are sterile and disposed of after each use. They are very fine, about the width of ten human hairs. This clinic practices trauma informed care, and your practitioner has specialized training and experience in treating highly sensitive people. We will work within your comfort level. This is your time, you get to set the limits.
We also offer many needle-free options: cupping, moxibustion, acupressure, tui na massage, tapping, acu-taping, e-stim, magnets and ear seeds, and a wide selection of botanicals.
Is it covered?
Acupuncture is covered by most health insurance plans, ICBC, WCB, Veterans Affairs Canada, and MSP for low income and status First Nations residents of BC. Yes we do direct billing, please inquire about your plan. For plans without a direct billing option, you will receive a receipt to submit to your provider for reimbursement.
