Take the first step towards a pain-free life — these traditional Chinese wellness treatments are just what you need.
Here’s a truth bomb: we’ve all experienced some type of body aches at some point in our lives. This may be inevitable, but it doesn’t mean we have to just live with it! In the name of self-care, it’s time to seek out treatments to ease the pain, or better manage those pesky aches.
Luckily, we’ve found just the thing: check out the brand new Singapore Paincare TCM Wellness for pain management solutions. This isn’t just another run-of-the-mill traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinic, mind you. It’s Singapore’s first-ever TCM clinic to focus on pain management, with treatments revolving around a Yin-Yang concept, developed by western medical pain specialists and TCM physicians.
Here’s the lowdown: in TCM, it’s believed that Yin and Yang are opposite yet complementary; forces that coexist in harmony. This is embodied in the clinic’s treatments, where they marry both Eastern and Western medical practices — including medical-grade technology — to create treatments that offer the best of both worlds.
Want to track the improvements in your chronic pain points? The clinic uses a Skin Conductance Response (SCR) on every patient to evaluate pain sensation. This data is used to monitor your pain levels and track how they improve with continued treatment over time.
Next time your back starts to ache after hours of toiling away in front of the computer, you know where to go! Check out these three treatments to start:
1. Qi’Nergy Tuina
Think of this like getting a massage, only much better. It brings together a unique combination of Tuina — an Eastern pressure point massage — and Western scientific method of myofascial release and radiofrequency energy. Tuina loosens up tight fascia tissues, while radiofrequency energy helps to quicken a patient’s recovery through electrical, heat and kinetic energy to support the movement of Qi energy. Just close your eyes, relax, and let the therapists work their magic.
2. Wellness Herb Iontophoresis
Pamper yourself with this foot soak treatment, which uses both Eastern herbs and Western iontophoresis. The latter is a form of transdermal drug delivery that transmits a gentle electric current through the water, enhancing herb absorption. It’s the perfect example of how East and West medical practices can work hand in hand. This treatment has three variations: boost your immune system with Ionto Immunity, ensure a great night’s sleep with Ionto Sleep Harmony, or achieve an overall healthier you with Ionto Energy+. Alternatively, you can also opt for a personalised herb concoction prescribed by Singapore Paincare’s TCM physician to target your condition.
3. Paediatric Wellness Experience
One of the things that we love about this clinic is that it doesn’t only focus on the adults; your little bubs stand to benefit too. Specially tailored for children, this treatment is said to help with treating and preventing various paediatric ailments. A specially curated Paediatric Tuina helps to achieve this goal, which is even touted as being beneficial to the development of children’s brains.
If you can’t get enough, other treatments include acupuncture, cupping, herbal medication, and guasha. Take your pick from a la carte treatments or a package!
Plus, with the centre centrally located at Marina Square, even getting your treatments done is a total breeze. To ensure your peace of mind, the treatments are developed by a top-notch group of skilled Western medical care specialists and TCMPB-certified TCM physicians. Take Sue Wan, one of their registered TCM physicians, for example. She has anchored various health talks and was even featured in media spots on Channel 8 and 96.4FM.
