Moxibustion Therapy is an incredibly effective tool to combine with Acupuncture. In fact, the actual Chinese character for acupuncture is Zhen Jiu (or Shin Kyu in Japanese), its translation literally means "needle-moxibustion." Using acupuncture without Moxa is thought of playing the piano with one hand.
We practice modern and traditional acupuncture. We use many methods for diagnosis, but a unique part of our treatments is that we utilize the ear as a tool for acupuncture diagnosis and treatment. This is called Auriculotherapy. Upon your first session we will use a unit that will assess the disrupted nerve endings in your ear (totally painless).
The use of acupuncture has been shown to effectively treat many types of conditions for over 2, 500 years (origin date is unknown, as it goes past all recorded history). In 2003 the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) released a report called "Acupuncture: Review and Analysis of Reports on Controlled Clinical Trials."
ICBC will now pay the full reasonable cost of treatments so customers should no longer be out of pocket for any costs for the following treatments: acupuncture, chiropractic care, counseling, kinesiology, massage therapy, occupational therapy, and physiotherapy.

Avoid exercise for 3 hours after a treatment, if possible relax the rest of the day. Not necessarily do nothing on a couch (unless you want to, we won't tell!) Simply try not to over exert yourself physically to further maximize benefits and give your body a chance to react to the treatment even more.

I have been treated by John since the late 70's for several training injuries and general "tune ups" as well . The man is a walking encyclopedia of health and nutritional information . Acupuncture has been administered for millennia for good reason ,,,, IT WORKS !! He has helped me recover from several injuries and has "balanced" my healing energies and meridians post surgery a few times .

I have had the pleasure of going to a lot of places for acupuncture, but the care and energy in this place is off the charts.
Christina is awesome and works hard to understand her patients and their individual needs, coupled with the fantastic energy from her Mum at the front of house it’s the perfect compliment.
Each move is explained and you’ll have great fun too

I met Christina and had an instant connection with her. Christina's method of treatment is so healing. Christina comes from a family where alternative health has been practiced for decades, the knowledge and natural instinct that Christina has is truly a gift.Christina did more than treat me physically, she tapped into my emotional well being and treated me in a way that had a profound effect on my body, mind and spirit..
As well as acupuncture, Christina practices Chinese Medicine and has a wealth of knowledge about nutrition, supplements and so much more, this works hand in hand with her treatment

My experience with Asher Acupuncture is amazing every time I go. I have never felt better. Run down after my 3rd baby, Christina literally brought me back to life! Working on my energy levels, hormone balance, immune system, etc etc. She's helping me fix it all! I look forward to every visit. HIGHLY RECOMMEND visiting Asher Acupuncture.

I have seen Christina a few times and she has helped me tremendously. I was having pain in my neck and shoulders from pinched nerves in my neck. She listened carefully to my concerns and was able to identify the problem quickly. After 4 treatments I feel much better and am able to finally get a good night sleep. I also have Restless Leg Syndrome and she was able to calm the nerves down so I can sleep better. I would highly recommend her.

What a fantastic Accupuncture clinic. Great personal treatment, family run, very reasonable prices, and positive environment. I’ve seen Christina Williams a number of times for treatment and have had great results. She is easy to talk with and has a great sense of humour. From back pain to emotional stress and much more Asher Acupuncture is the place to visit for relief.

Best father-daughter-duo-practice ever! I have been a patient of John’s for over 15 years, through 3 pregnancies and now Christina. Their fresh approach, skillfulness and experience sets them apart. All my bladder/sleep issues have only been relieved with success through their acupuncture and drive from East Vancouver to see Christina. They are my families go-to for anything and everything!

Both my husband and I saw Dr. Asher for Acupuncture. My husband had back pain and I had been experiencing other various issues related to menopause and a sore hand from the over exertion of being a one-handed typist who spends 12 + hours daily on computer work), as well as tension and stress experienced by both of us. My husbands friend from work gave us this referral to see Dr. Asher. My husband had been in pain with back ache, leg and hand pain for several weeks and after one treatment from Dr. Asher, slept through the night and woke up pain free for the first time in weeks. I went along with
