Michael Luong Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine

After spending years trying to find the right medical team to help me manage some chronic conditions, Michael Luong has quickly become a main practitioner in my support team. He is incredibly knowledgeable and does great work to help me reduce symptoms and find balance in my health. It is a pleasure to work with him and I highly recommend him.

I came to Michael in Dec of 2021 when I was anemic, burnt out, exhausted, and on sick leave from work. The western medicine doctor said I just needed to rest and exercise 30 mins/day to get myself back to being able to go to work in a month. It did not work. I did all the recommendations the medical doctor told me to do; but I was not progressing. I was stuck. I was still short of breath walking up the hill to see the doctor when I was running half marathons, surfing and being really active months before. It did not make sense to me why the medical doctor's recommendations would work; and I knew something was missing from a holistic perspective.I went to see Michael and he triaged my body/condition from a Qi/TCM perspective. He explained a lot; we are more than just the physical perspective western medicine says. I was treated by Michael 2x/week for a month and my Qi was better enough to get back to work in Jan 2022. I have continued to come to Michael to receive acupuncture when I feel I am not getting better from other treatments (e.g. massage). Most times, I find acupuncture allows the body to open up energetically/release the blockages, to receive the benefits from other treatments. It is an effective grounding tool.Michael was also a pharmacist in his past profession and has good knowledge of what Western and Chinese medicine can provide. His TCM/acupuncture triage skills in understanding what is going on with your body, and strategy in which acupuncture points to needle is simply outstanding. He really takes his time to understand YOU — what is going on in your life emotionally, your job, lifestyle, relationships, and your pre-existing physical conditions. He gathers all of this info in order to treat you effectively from a holistic TCM approach. He has also given me herbs and recipes to make at home to help fire up my hunger and healing. He also has done colour therapy, used crystals on my acupuncture points, and used other modalities other than using needles to release blockage in from my channels. So, if you're faint of heart with needles, there are other ways for Michael to access your acupuncture points.I think one of the best aspects of Michael is that he actually explains what is going on in your body/channels once he understand what is impacted. I have gone to TCM doctors before and they don't ever explain enough of what is going on with you... they just treat. This is a great gift of communication that Michael has; he is interested in providing knowledge to the client to inform them and to work on themselves if they choose it. I enjoy Michael's insights - they are always spot on. I use them to make small changes in my life towards the right direction in achieving balance for body and all aspects of my life.I am thankful to have met Michael and I will continue to pass on friends and people who need healing and opening of their channels when Western Medicine has not helped. He has also inspired me to look at things holistically and from a Qi/energy perspective. Thank you for all the work you do Michael!

My experience with Michael was awesome. I have been dealing with post concussion syndrome since February 2019 and have tried everything you can imagine to better my symptoms. There is a few things that have helped so far but it always is a one step forward two step back kind of battle. I found Michael online through a google search, he was very understanding to my injury and had a lot of great knowledge and insights that have helped me, and i have implemented into my daily life. His sessions were relaxing and he’s a very nice easy going guy. I will continue to see him whenever I go back to the mainland. 5 stars from me!Thanks Michael!

I am so grateful that I was referred by my friend to Michael Luong’s practice. I have been struggling with eczema and going through topical steroid withdrawl and have seen many doctors and been given many tests to try to get to the root of the problem, none of which have helped. From my first visit with Dr. Luong, I finally had some relief. He really takes the time to listen to what you’re going through and customizes a plan for you. I finally got relief from my chronic itchy skin and all of the terrible symptoms that came with TSW from the teas he made for me and the sessions we had. I’ve been seeing Dr. Luong weekly and couldn’t be happier with the recovery and care he has provided. I have been recommending him to all of my friends and family and would suggest giving his practice a try to anyone who is experiencing health issues, pain or discomfort. I look forward to my sessions every week and have been so impressed with how knowledgeable and caring Dr. Luong is. As someone knew to acupuncture, I am now truly a believer in how much it can do for your health. I highly recommend this business and this doctor and can’t thank them enough for being instrumental in my recovery. Hands down he is the best doctor I’ve ever seen!

I went to Michael 2 days after I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy, two weeks later I have full function of my face. While I was there Michael also treated other sore points and ailments. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine is a great alternative to healing the body. The process is easy and not painful at all. I will continue to see him for maintenance of my body to keep all the organs functioning properly and blood flowing smoothly I highly recommend Michael.

I am very grateful to have Michael helping me with my neck and shoulder pain. He is very caring and knowledgeable. The clinic is clean, warm and welcoming. My pain wouldn’t go away even by taking prescribed medication. After just one treatment, I feel so much better! I cannot thank him enough.

Michael is a great acupuncturist and person - he is thorough, kind, detail-oriented, cares about his patients, and professional. I went to his clinic weekly for 3 months and saw an improvement to my ailments while I was going consistently. Thanks for all your help, Michael :)

Michael is an incredible practitioner, I would recommend him to absolutely anyone who is looking for acupuncture treatment. He has excellent bedside manner, carrying warm conversations throughout the treatment, explaining every step of his procedures. Michael has a very holistic view of health and wellness, looking at diet, sleep, stress, and overall lifestyle and how it affects the body. He speaks both English and Chinese fluently, and has background knowledge in both Western and Chinese medicine. He does not only look at reactive treatments, but provides advice and recommendations on prevention as well. His treatments have helped me with both pre-existing injuries, in addition to newer injuries or pains as well. Online booking is very easy as well, and prices are reasonable (one of the cheaper options I could find in Vancouver). Thank you, Michael!

I have recently being going to Michael for neck pain and my experience with him has been great. I only have good things to say. He is very practical and doesn't try and suck you in for session after session, if you don't need them. I really appreciated him giving me exercises to do at home and him telling me to only book another appt, at a later stage, if I feel I need to. I would really recommend this place. Michael is also extremely friendly and knowledgeable and has helped me a lot.
