Traditional Chinese Medicine
A full TCM consultation and treatment plan. Useful when several complaints appear together — pain with poor sleep, fatigue or digestive symptoms — and you want them looked at as a pattern rather than separately.
Pillar 02
Danang Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese Medicine by a licensed practitioner, coordinated with the rest of your clinical plan rather than delivered in isolation.
- Traditional Chinese Medicine
- Herbal medicine
- Acupuncture
- Cupping
- Esthetic acupuncture
Traditional medicine, practised carefully
Consultations follow the traditional method — history, observation, pulse and tongue examination — and end with a plan that is explained in ordinary language: what will be done, how many sessions are reasonable, and how we will judge whether it is helping.
Acupuncture is most often used here for musculoskeletal pain, tension headaches, sleep difficulty, digestive complaints and stress-related symptoms. It is frequently combined with chiropractic and rehabilitation, because the two work on different parts of the same problem.
Needles are single-use and sterile. Common side effects are a small bruise, brief tiredness or a temporary increase in symptoms.
We do not use language about removing toxins, and we do not offer acupuncture as a treatment for cancer, infection or any condition that needs medical care. Herbal medicine is discussed with your other medications in mind.

What is included
The five services in this pillar
Used alone, or alongside chiropractic and rehabilitation in the same plan.
Herbal medicine
Prescribed formulas from a licensed practitioner, adjusted at review. We ask for a full list of your current medicines and supplements first, and we will decline if there is a plausible interaction risk.
Acupuncture
Fine needles at selected points, retained for around twenty minutes. Most commonly used here for neck and back pain, tension headaches, sleep and stress-related complaints.
Cupping
Suction cups applied to the back or shoulders, static or moving, to work on muscular tension. It leaves round marks that fade over several days — worth knowing before an event or a beach holiday.
Esthetic acupuncture
Facial acupuncture aimed at local circulation and muscle tone, taken as a course of sessions. Effects are subtle and temporary, and we do not present it as an alternative to dermatological or cosmetic medical treatment.
Not suitable during pregnancy, with active skin infection or inflammation, or with recent injectable treatments — we will ask.
Self-care with Dr Lucy
Acupressure you can do at home
Short videos from Dr Lucy, our TCM doctor, showing exactly where and how firmly to press acupoints for everyday complaints. Each one takes one to two minutes.
Headache relief
Firm but comfortable circular pressure on Hegu (LI4, in the thumb web) and Fengchi (GB20, at the base of the skull) — the classic pair for tension headaches.
Neck and shoulder tension
Houxi (SI3, along the outer edge of the palm) with Fengchi (GB20) and gentle Jianjing (GB21, the top of the shoulder) — for stiff, tired necks after a day at the desk.
Better sleep
Shenmen (HT7, the small hollow by the wrist crease) and Anmian (behind the ear) pressed slowly before bed — the points Dr Lucy uses most for restless sleepers.
Stress and low mood
Yintang (between the eyebrows), Neiguan (PC6, two finger-widths above the wrist) and Taichong (LV3, the top of the foot) — a three-minute reset for a busy mind.
Tired eyes from screens
Zanzhu (BL2, under the eyebrow) and Taiyang (the temples) with slow, small circles — relief after long hours in front of a screen.
Sinus and nasal congestion
Yingxiang (LI20, beside the nostrils), Bitong (at the top of the nose) and Yintang — the congestion-clearing trio for allergy season in Da Nang.
Nausea and travel sickness
One point, done well: Neiguan (PC6, two finger-widths above the inner wrist) — the best-studied acupoint for nausea, useful in cars and boats.
Bloating and slow digestion
Zusanli (ST36, below the knee) and Zhongwan (CV12, above the navel) — warm, steady pressure that wakes up a sluggish digestive system.
Menstrual cramps
Sanyinjiao (SP6, above the inner ankle) with a warm hand on Guanyuan (CV4, below the navel) — for crampy lower abdomen and lower back in the first days of the cycle.
Low back tiredness
Weizhong (BL40, the back of the knee) paired with firm pressure on the low-back points Dr Lucy shows in the video — for the end of a long standing day.
Press until you feel a firm but comfortable ache — never pain. Acupressure complements but does not replace medical care. If you are pregnant, on blood thinners, or have a heart condition, check with Dr Lucy before using these points.
What a first visit looks like
Your first visit, step by step
An hour, ending with a plan you understand.
Consultation
Your main complaint, medical history, medications, sleep, digestion and stress — plus observation, pulse and tongue examination.
Explanation
What the pattern looks like in TCM terms, what that means in practice, and how many sessions are reasonable before we judge the result.
Treatment
Acupuncture, cupping or both, usually 30–45 minutes on the table in a quiet room.
Review point
We agree in advance when we will reassess — typically after four to six sessions — and we stop if it is not working.
