What is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and how can a Registered TCM Practitioner help?

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a holistic approach to health and wellness based on ancient principles. A Registered TCM Practitioner will assess your overall state of health, looking for patterns of imbalance according to TCM theory (often involving tongue and pulse diagnosis). Treatment may involve acupuncture, customized herbal formulas (if an R.TCMP), cupping, moxibustion, and specific dietary and lifestyle recommendations to help restore your body's natural balance and promote healing.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Registered TCM Practitioner in BC?

Patients in BC can typically see a Registered TCM Practitioner, such as a Registered Acupuncturist or Registered TCM Practitioner, directly without a physician's referral (known as direct access). However, while a referral is not legally required, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes. Patients are advised to check their individual insurance policies for specific requirements.

Are Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine services covered by Medical Services Plan (MSP) in BC?

Generally, Acupuncture and TCM services provided by a Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac) or Registered TCM Practitioner (R.TCMP) in a private clinic are not covered by the provincial Medical Services Plan (MSP). Patients usually pay out-of-pocket for these services. It is recommended to review your private or extended health insurance plans, as many do offer partial coverage for services rendered by registered practitioners, though coverage varies widely.

Does acupuncture hurt? Are the needles safe?

Acupuncture needles are extremely fine, sterile, and single-use, often not much thicker than a human hair. Their insertion is usually painless or feels like a tiny prick, much less than an injection. Once in place, you may feel sensations such as dull ache, warmth, tingling, or a feeling of heaviness—these are positive signs indicating Qi movement. Most patients find acupuncture to be relaxing and calming. Safety is paramount; registered practitioners use only sterile, disposable needles. Always communicate with your practitioner if discomfort occurs.

What are Qi and Meridians in TCM?

**Qi** is the vital energy or life force that animates the body, maintaining health when flowing smoothly. **Meridians** are channels that carry Qi and Blood throughout the body, connecting organs and tissues. Blockages or deficiencies in Qi flow can lead to illness or pain. Acupuncture and TCM therapies aim to restore the proper flow of Qi within these meridians.

What is Acupuncture and how can it help me?

Acupuncture involves inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points called acupoints along meridians to stimulate the flow of Qi. This helps to alleviate pain, reduce stress, improve sleep, regulate bodily functions, and promote overall health by supporting the body's natural healing processes.
