About Us

 

Who are we?

The “I Stop Pain” Acupuncture Center is owned by Registered Acupuncturists Tom Tian and Wei Yuan. Prior to moving to Halifax, we both worked as acupuncturists in hospitals in China and over many years have accumulated thousands of hours of clinical experience  treating a wide variety of ailments. Upon immigrating to Canada we treated patients in our clinic in Vancouver, B.C. for two years until deciding to move to the east coast. We have been operating our new clinic in Halifax since 2007 and very much enjoy meeting and treating new patients here in the Maritime Provinces. 

The Centre is conveniently located at the corner of Young Street and Robie Street in Halifax and offers free parking.

We are located on the ground floor of the building so that patients who have mobility issues do not have to manage stairs. The professional atmosphere will make you feel comfortable, relaxed, and prepared to receive effective treatment. We are a husband and wife team and work in conjunction with one another in order to best serve our patients and their individual needs.

 

Listen to what Patients have to say about us:

Lynn: "I was injured in a motor vehicle accident 8 years ago, and have since that time undergone many types of treatments for chronic pain, some of which include osteopathy, chiropractic, physiotherapy, and narcotic pain management. This past December on a day my pain levels were extremely high I called “I Stop Pain” and made an appointment to see Tom. When I arrived at his clinic my pain level was 9.5 out of 10. When Tom was finished our first session of acupuncture my level of pain was reduced to 3 out of 10. My pain level had not been that low in many years."

 Mike: "I have had lower back pain for three years that can really flare up and incapacitate me. The treatment at the “I Stop Pain Clinic” was miraculous. I walked in a skeptic and walked out a believer. My back feels great!”

 We have successfully treated close to 400 patients since opening our clinic at the end of 2007.

 

Why Acupuncture works?

Acupuncture and other Chinese medicines are based upon meridians, the subtle energy system in the body, which was discovered by the Chinese over 5,000 years ago. All ailments and emotional disorders are the result of the disruption of this subtle energy system. By using acupuncture to stimulate the acu-points we restore the balance of meridians and promote the incredible self-healing power of the human body. It deals with the cause of the illness and it ultimately results in long term healing.

Acupuncture and many of the other traditional Chinese medicines we employ are also very effective in preventing diseases. We are able to identify signs of imbalance and make adjustments before an illness becomes disabling.

 

What ailments are effectively treated by acupuncture?

Acupuncture can treat a wide range of ailments from physical problems to emotional disorders. The World Health Organization recommends acupuncture as treatment for over 100 ailments. In reality it has been proven effective in many more. These include:
