Acupuncture is an alternative health treatment and dates as early as 1600 BC. Refined by the early doctors of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to treat aches and pain, today it is one of the most popular forms of therapy in the world, promoting freedom from illness by balancing energy in the body.

Services
For many centuries, Chinese doctors have used acupuncture to ease patients' pain and pressure from certain parts of the body. The treatment is derived from the theory that energy flows through the body through paths referred to as meridians. When pressure blocks these paths, a person experiences pain that can lead to other illnesses.
Tui Na is the form of Asian bodywork most closely resembling conventional western massage. Many of the techniques are Man with back painsimilar - gliding (known as effleurage or Tui), kneading (petrissage or Nie), percussion (tapotement or Da), friction, pulling, rotation, rocking, vibration, and shaking.
Traditional Chinese medicine has shown for centuries that foods not only provide nutrients for the body, but can also cure health problems. TCM physicians ask their patients how they eat, and give dietary advice along with treatment. The knowledge of which foods to eat or which to avoid is very important.
Herbal medicine is an integral component of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is also one of the oldest (and most popular) forms of health care. Studies have shown that as much as 40% of all Canadian adults use herbal products, with the amount of money spent on herbal remedies in this country each year in the billions.
Acupuncture is effective in facial rejuvenation. Acupuncture is a painless, non-surgical method of reducing the signs of the aging process. Though facial beautification treatment can sometimes be referred to as an 'acupuncture facelift', it is more than a cosmetic procedure. It is a rejuvenation and revitalization process designed to help the whole body look and feel younger.

Getting acupuncture from Dr. Wilson and taking his herbal medication has literally been life changing. I’ve been struggling with epilepsy for the last 7 years and no western medicine seemed to fully control it. I’ve been losing all hope of having a “normal” life again but then I was recommended Dr. Wilson and now I am seeing results that I never thought were possible, especially within such a short period of time. I’ve been coming from the mainland to go to his sessions quite regularly for the last few months and every time I walk out of his clinic I feel like a new person and already

I made an appointment with Dr. Marlin Wilson at Wilson Acupuncture on July 25, 2021. I had found his name on the internet and was impressed with the reviews given him. He is located in Victoria, B.C. in a quaint area called ‘Dragon Alley’ found in Chinatown.
I found Dr. Wilson to be a very kind, compassionate and a knowledgeable person. He spends quality time with you and assesses your needs. He is meticulous and forthright. I had two sessions with him and would not hesitate to return. I would give him a 10/10.

Dr. Wilson knows everything from Chinese medicine. Before visiting I tried to use all available sources to cure my health problem. Useless. Then I went to family doctor - again, no result. Then a friend of mine recommended to visit his clinic in the downtown of Victoria (I had to drive long hour to it).
And then magic happened!
After my first visit I felt almost recovered. First time I felt "back on my feet" after more than month. Dr. Wilson got rid of my problem about 80% just in first visit. I couldn't believe it happened. Of course, I visited the clinic more times to get strong stable effect

Marlin is a true master of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. The difference he has made in mine and my family's lives is incomparable. I have been struggling with health issues in France for the past 3 years, with specialists unable to know how to help and nothing making a difference. I felt hopeless about it, and I knew if only I had been in Victoria Marlin would know exactly how to help and that it would be lasting. I have been in Victoria these past months and have seen him. I explained what I've been dealing with, and he told me that he knew exactly what I needed and what to do

Dr. Wilson is a healer in short . That he has every designation in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Herbology tells me a lot but is only part of what he brings me every time we are together. Most importantly, enhancing his training is his extensive ability to listen to me inside and out. He sees things in me from his vast store of articulate and inarticulate memory.
My recent experience with a skin eruption on my hands led me to Marlin. I endured all the expensive topical creams some of which were very helpful. However I had known from previous information given me by Marlin which was let’s

Dr Wilson has a true gift. I had been suffering from an extreme eczema flare up all over my face, neck, and hands for the last 2 months. I tried literally everything to heal it naturally. There was no way I would give in to western medicine’s steroid or immunosuppressant ointments with all of their horrific side effects. After many failed attempts with various creams, supplements, and diets, my partner suggested acupuncture. I had just one treatment with Dr Wilson (where he also gave me an herbal tea to take home), and by the next day, my eczema had cleared by 75%. The day after that..98%...and

Sometimes I’d like to refer Dr. Marlin Wilson as Merlin because of his mysterious ability to intuit and treat imbalances very effectively. Because of his deep knowledge of Chinese Medicine and Accupuncture practices, he is never without a remedy. He has a joyful bedside manner and a heart full of love and compassion for his patients. His treatments include various healing modalities such as massage and music. Recently he prescribed medicine that completely healed a suspicious skin blemish. I didn’t get as far as the biopsy before it cleared! Dr Wilson is a tremendous gift to those of us who

I have been seeing Marlin for more than five years on and off for various things. Western medicine has failed me, so I am thankful I am able to see Marlin. He is the most amazing healer. My hands were burning and It felt like I was getting arthritis. Marlin treated me With acupuncture and herbs and after one session, the pain had lessened by 80 per cent. I was able to paint this week and I was so grateful. I can’t say enough good things about Marlin. He helped my partner too, who had eczema on his hands. They were so cracked, raw, bleeding and they looked like raw hamburger. After a series of

I did multiple treatments with Dr. Wilson for addressing my Bells-palsy. It was my first time ever experiencing acupuncture. He took the time to assess my needs. I felt very comfortable both emotionally and physically thanks to his calm approach to acupuncture treatment.
I highly recommend him for whatever you may need to be treated for. I have 100% faith in his abilities and I am thankful he has helped me.
