Oakridge Pain Clinic: Michael Yin Registered Acupuncturist

Our main service is providing care to patients through acupuncture to help patient recover from their illness. Acupuncture improves the blood circulation and oxygen flow inside our body so with fresh nutrient-rich blood can go to a specific area of our body/organ to stop pain or promote metabolism of the body. When most people think of acupuncture, they first think of the acupuncture needle that insert to our body. While acupuncture needle has been exist for a long long time, we believe that no matter how thin the needle is (believe us, the modern acupuncture needle is really really thin compare to injection needle) it still create fear for some. However, we have other tools that is under the scope of acupuncture works just the same but without the need of insert the needles. First, our clinic have a state of art German Laser Acupuncture device that can be used for treatment. This laser device is low level cold laser that have proven through many clinical trials that works just as effective as actual needling. Second, we also use ear seed that works on our ears that is also proven to be as effective as needling. The advantage of this is that you can do stimulating the points while you are at home or work and those seeds can last up to 7 days. Other services such as cupping or Chinese massage (Tui-Na) are also method of treatments in Chinese Medicine Acupuncture scope. If you are unsure what works for you, please book our free 15 minutes consultation session and we are very glad to explain the differences to you and determine what would be the best treatment protocol for your specific needs.
