ACUPUNCTURE ONE -- Masters Expertise at Your Service
Acupuncture One and Its Owner Acupuncture One is a privately owned traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinic that offers two types of services – acupuncture and herbal medicine. The owner of the business, Mark Ma, is a registered TCM practitioner. He has a Master’s degree, as well as unique training by leading TCM practitioners. The training that he received is special in that it is pure traditional Chinese medicine, not the publicly available kind that mixes Western medicine techniques with the practice of Chinese medicine, which results in a hybrid that is far less effective than either of its parents. Acupuncture One uses true, original Chinese medicine techniques to address issues that cannot be resolved with other methods: the treatment offered does not come with side effects -- as no synthetic chemicals are used, it is highly effective in pain management, and sometimes allows people to avoid surgery. In a way, it enables people to live without compromise – they get to live the life they want, without changing the way they live. An example in this regard is pain reduction, with services offered by the company, people do not have to live with pain killers, or change their lifestyle just to stay pain-free. The owner has a strong background in TCM, which allows him to provide services with the above benefits. Not only is his family deeply involved in TCM, but also, he is the direct disciple of Master Acupuncturist Dr. Shin Ri Ou, based in Japan. Dr. Ou is world famous for his unparalleled therapy to revive stroke patients. The focus of Dr. Ou’s practice is on the treatment of neurological diseases or neuromuscular problems, using a combination of acupuncture and herbal medicine techniques. Further the owner learned from world leaders in the TCM field, such as Dr. Haixia Ni, and Dr. Weijie Yang. In essence, what the owner offers to patients is the crystallized knowledge from Grand Masters in the field, it is not something that can be easily picked up in a school somewhere in Canada. As an indication of the owner’s expertise, he recently treated a patient who was injured in a car accident 30 years ago and have had non-stop severe pain from that time onwards. Pain killers does not help him. As a result of the owner’s intervention, the patient’s pain reduced for the first time for the past 30 years, for as much as 40%. Their family was ecstatic with the treatment. Pure vs. Hybrid Chinese Medicine The practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine has a history of over 5, 000 years. Unfortunately, due to the destruction of traditional culture in mainland China, essentially all of the expertise accumulated in the field got wiped out, along with people that inherited them. People that the owner learned from are exceptions from this destruction. One of his teachers, Dr. Shin Ri Ou, inherited knowledge in treating neurological symptoms from his grandfather, who was not affected by the cultural upheaval in China, although he was very famous for his expertise at that time. It is worth-noting that the owner is the only student of Dr. Ou outside of Asia. The other people that the owner learned from, for example Dr. Haixia Ni, escaped to Taiwan with his family and therefore survived the destruction of culture that took place in mainland China. In essence, what the company offers to patients is something not easily attainable in the field, it is not something that can be easily picked up in a school somewhere in Canada or China. In comparison, the owner’s competitors do not have this kind of background. What they learned from school is textbook knowledge that has deviated from tradition. While teaching the form of Chinese medicine, modern schools actually use the knowledge, theory and techniques from Western medicine to guide their practice. As a result, while offering services under the disguise of traditional Chinese medicine, it is actually a hybrid of both, and its effectiveness is not as comparable as either one.
