Charles Registered Acupuncturist in BC, Canada

Information

Hello, I am Charles R.Ac. I am a registered acupuncturist in BC, Canada I am an experienced acupuncture therapist and have worked in field of medicine for 40 years in China, Japan and Canada. My training and experiences were in gynecology and oncology. I had been a surgeon and mainly worked with clients with tumours. I furthered my practice in the renowned Tsukiji Cancer Centre in Tokyo, Japan. I must say that I am very experienced in gynecology, oncology as well as pathology and disease prevention. I have also been practising Chinese Traditional Medicine along with Western Medicine. It’s a tradition to practise both to help clients in China. I have found acupuncture and acupressure to be helpful tools not only in relieving pains but also promoting recovery. I firmly believe in natural therapy. I do not use any chemicals in my practice. I do not use electric machines. I use thin needles (the size of single strand of hair) and the pain is minimal. For people who are afraid of needles, I use alternative methods. Please feel free to ask me questions.

The best $55 I’ve spent. Ever. Seriously, I’ve had problems with my sciatic nerve and overall back pain for about 20 years. I was sceptical about acupuncture being able to do anything for me but I was wrong. The only thing that has helped has been pain medication and I only take that when I need to. I have only gone for one session so far and within 24 hours of that treatment my back felt better that it has in many, many years. I’m really looking forward to my future treatments. Definitely recommend him to anyone with back pain.

I haven’t seen Dr. Yuan in awhile but only because he fixed what was hurting me in just a few sessions. I really like this Acupuncturist and I’m picky about who I see. I’ve been getting “needled” for almost 40 years and recommend Dr. Yuan without hesitation. He does excellent massage work with his session and has a very nice disposition and excellent prices.

Charles is simply Amazing. I have been having back problems for quite sometime now and I have seen many practitioners but he stands above all. If my back is really bad I usually just need 3 or 4 visits to make it perfect again. I would highly recommend him to everyone to try of you got back problems..

quiet nature with astounding results. There aren’t enough words to praise his practice. If you are looking for glitter and glam this might not be your place.. But if you are looking for diligent work and results then he is your man.

I found Charles about a month ago when I was googling for an acupuncturist for my father whose back and legs were so bad that he could barely walk from the pain and he had been in bed for over 2 weeks. Since he was staying with me for a week I wanted to find someone close to my home so the journey in the car wouldn’t be too long and I had to make sure there weren’t any stairs.

The first appointment my dad struggled to walk in from the car with a walker but was pleased with the treatment. He went back 3 times that week and by the end of the week he wasn’t using the walker any longer. Since he enjoyed the treatments and saw such an improvement within a week he has continued going twice a week and is walking better than he has in months and the pain is gone for the most part.

About a week later I had been lifting several heavy boxes at work and had strained my neck so badly that I couldn’t move or turn. It was so very painful, I tried going to a massage therapist, then a physio and then I finally went to Charles and his one treatment I had significant improvement. after 3 sessions I was feeling like new again. The combination of the massage with acupuncture was amazing.

A couple of weeks ago my boyfriend was complaining of a sore lower back which had been bothering him for months so he decided to make an appointment with Charles as well.. When he was finished and he came out of his appointment he said no wonder you and your dad like it so much that was incredible, I am never going to another masseuse again I will go back to him. Since his appointment he keeps saying how much better his back still feels and he has made an appointment for this Saturday and is really looking forward to it.

To top it off it is very reasonable!

I have been telling all my family and friends. Dr. Charles is fabulous!!! I recommend him to everyone!!!

Give him a call!!

I work at a very busy dental office with constant muscle tension in my back and neck. I’ve been seeing Charles weekly for treatment. I leave his office feeling so relaxed and rejuvenated. The treatment has helped so much! Thanks Charles!

I have been getting treatments by Charles for at least 3 years and will continue to be a faithful client. His treatments have been superb leaving me virtually pain free for a few hours throughout my regular chronic pain. He has helped me recover from a severe back injury. I strongly recommend Charles as a talented therapist.

I am a psychiatrist with several clients who are suffering from chronic pain. Frequently, conventional medicine is not very effective or it may be addictive. I would like to refer some of my clients to Charles who is specialized in acupressure and acupunctures.
I have great faith that he will be able to help my clients as he has a solid background in medicine.

- Dr. A. Sidky, Medical Specialist

I am a Charles’s client. He does excellent treatment. I really appreciate it and would love to continue to have his services.
Mr. Charles is an exceptional acupuncturist and I highly recommend his services.

- Maria C.

Charles has done treatment for me for many years. He is a professional and friendly practitioner. When I feel tired or have shoulder pain due to my busy work, I always see Mr. Charles. After I have received his treatment, my tiredness or pain was gone. I feel lucky to have a good practitioner like him.

- Jean C.

Charles has been my therapist for the past year. I am loyal to him because his is gentle yet firm, and helps to relieve the chronic tension in my neck, shoulders and upper back. Regular treatment from Charles is part of my routine healthcare because he is so effective. I have received over a hundred treatments to-date from various practitioners at spas, chiropractic offices, TCM clinics etc. and can honestly say Charles’ practice is of the highest quality! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for relief from pain and stress.

I found Charles Yuan on Craigslist. I chose him because of the low price and because Charles is a licensed Acupuncturist. Charles did a basic health assessment then provided me with a 1 hour treatment which was very good for my back and neck. I went back for several more sessions. I also had a out of town family member visit Charles and they also liked the session. Charles clinic is clean and I like the wood massage table he uses.

Our pleasure!

I have been going to Charles every two weeks for nearly two years ago now. At first he helped me with my hip pain and then with my seasonal allergies. My hip pain has improved and my allergies have subsided. I used to wake up every morning with runny nose, itchy and watery eyes and throat, but now, I wake up and don’t even have to reach for a tissue anymore. I always look forward to my visit with Charles – I always come out completely relaxed and feeling good.
Thanks,
