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." 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: 1. Pain associated with headaches & migraines, tennis
elbow, arthritis, stomachache, fibromalyia, neck and shoulder injuries,
back pain, TMJ, frozen shoulders, carpal tunnel and more. 2. Emotional disorders associated with depression,
stress, anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, phobias, cravings and more. 3. Other problems including menopause, weight loss,
allergies, asthma, facial paralysis, infertility, smoking cessation, ED,
poor blood circulation, detoxification and more. If you’ve been unable to get relief from conventional
