Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of remedying various health conditions. Usually, herbal remedies and acupuncture were the only treatment choices for thousands of years, and therefore theories and practices have developed over time to tackle various health conditions.
Some of the remedies that we offer to achieve a good health condition.

Cupping is another standard treatment for sportspeople to alleviate pain and soreness. The cups placed on the top layer of skin create a vacuum, which is essentially the opposite action of massage. It can soothe body muscles, ease pain and bring relaxation. Both Cupping and Acupuncture treat many symptoms, relieve pain, and promote healing abilities in the body.
Pain, particularly muscle aches and spasms, is one of the basic conditions we treat with cupping and acupuncture. Usually, any condition our acupuncture treats can also be treated with cupping; chest congestion, constipation, migraines, and a skin condition can all be treated with cupping and acupuncture.
When athletes get severely hurt, they need to recover as quickly as possible. Pain relief is just part of the healing process. The injured body part needs to recover and gain strength to prevent further injury. Acupuncture and cupping help bring oxygenated blood to the injured body part to speed up healing.
Cupping and acupuncture are generally considered safe and useful when used with other treatment methods.
Trigger points are sensitive spots in soft tissue, called myofascial trigger points. Every trigger point is a tiny patch of closely contracted muscle, a very small cramp that affects a little patch of muscle tissue. A trigger point, sometimes called pain, is caused by a problem in another part of the body but can be healed by massaging the trigger point.
Our Trigger point therapy in MD performs to loosen muscle tension, and acupressure and acupuncture work to equilibrate vital energy or Qi. All three techniques work together to boost overall health. An excellent holistic health plan includes:
Trigger point therapy helps heal and recover strained or injured muscular tissue. This therapy is for you if you have stiffness in your back or lower leg muscles that constantly knot up after exercises — or neck muscles that tighten after working a long day. Trigger point looks at the internetwork of muscle clusters, as sometimes a trigger point in one spot can refer to pain in a different body part. At Dr. Ma Acupuncture Centre, we apply this therapy to find and treat the root cause of pain.
Releasing the trigger point involves penetrating an acupuncture needle into this location and massaging it to relieve muscle pain. The muscle contraction triggers a response from the body’s healing ability, relaxes blood vessels, and enhances blood flow to the pain area. The muscle fibers relax, and the pain related to stiffness begins to go away. Since overused muscles tend to shrink and shorten — something that can become chronic over time — releasing the muscle while the body recovers are extremely beneficial. It also minimizes strain on joints and tendons.
Our therapies always focus on treating you thoroughly, not just a set of symptoms. Each condition is distinctive, and therefore we tailor treatment plans to suit your needs.
Tuina, or Tui-na massage, is one of the main branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Chinese Tuina massage therapy generally works on acupuncture points and channels. It targets certain points; Our therapists use various techniques, rather than needles, to put on pressure to stimulate these points. Patients can use this massage therapy in conjunction with acupuncture.
Chinese Tuina massage works with meridians (energy channels) in the whole body; the Tui Na therapist taps into these energy points using joint rotations, pressure points, and stretching to balance the body’s vital energy (qi).
Tuina massage therapy effectively minimizes tension and pain, promotes relaxation, and leads to deep sleep, which is especially useful for headaches, insomnia, fatigue, osteoporosis, arthritis, anxiety, and more. At Dr. Ma Acupuncture Centre, we incorporate Chinese Tuina with acupuncture treatments to improve patient conditions.
