About:
Daishu Zuo, R. Ac.,
Cert. Ac. (China), Dip. Ac. (Canada), B.A., M.S., Ph.D. (Pharmacy, China)
Hello, my name is Daishu, I am from China. I am a Registered Acupuncturist in good standing with the Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Association of Canada (CMAAC). I have had the privilege of practising acupuncture in a variety of places: I graduated from the Canadian College of Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine with a three-year Diploma in Acupuncture; I have a certificate in acupuncture from Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China specializing in acupuncture, and certification at the highest level of Tui Na (Chinese massage). I received additional acupuncture training at the hospital in Beidaihe China and during my clinical practice in China I followed the work of Fengqin Zhang, an excellent Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor in Hebei province, China. Similarly, I followed the work of and was supervised while completing my diploma by Dr. Chen, M.D., Ph.D., and Dr. Li, M.D., Ph.D. both Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors in Halifax, Canada. I also have a B.A., M.S., and Ph.D. all in pharmacy from China.
I was born into a medical family; my grandfather was a well-known traditional Chinese medicine doctor and director of the hospital in the local area. He wrote a significant amount of information about his medical experiences and passed all his notes on to the family. Both of my parents, now retired, were doctors. I was influenced at an early age by my parents and had access to a considerable number of books and information about Chinese medicine. I continued reading many classic Chinese medicine masterpieces, books, and clinical records of famous Chinese doctors. I have learned and continue to learn from their experience in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases to enrich my clinical experience. Chinese medicine has a history of more than 5,000 years. In the long-term struggle with diseases, the Chinese people have accumulated rich experience and unique methods. I am very happy to learn about Chinese medicine and acupuncture. I hope to use my knowledge to help you relieve your illness and protect your health.

Commly Asked Questions
1. Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture is practically painless! The needles we use are hair-thin – and first-time patients will often express their surprise when they realize how different acupuncture feels from what they expected.
2. How many treatments will I need?
Typically, the longer the patient has the condition, the longer the course of treatment before they experience substantial or lasting results. Acupuncture can be done as often as five times a week, once a week, or as little as once a month. Every person is different, acupuncture benefits some patients almost immediately, and many feel things such as a reduction in pain, stress-relief, increased energy, and better sleep after only one or a few treatments.
3. Will I bleed?
Generally, no. Sometimes there is a tiny droplet of blood but it is easily wiped away with a cotton ball.
4. How deep do acupuncture needles go, can they poke through my organs?
No, they will not poke through any organs other than your skin. Acupuncture needles are only inserted skin-deep in the body trunk.
5. How do I choose an acupuncturist?
Your acupuncturist must be registered or certified with a provincial or territorial association or board.
6. Is acupuncture safe?
When performed by a completely trained, licensed professional, acupuncture is extremely safe. All licensed acupuncturists today use individually packaged, sterile, disposable needles. So there is virtually no chance of infection or contagion.
7. What are the negative side effects of acupuncture?
There are rarely side-effects from acupuncture.
8. How long does an acupuncture treatment take?
The session takes about an hour.
9. What circumstances are not suitable for acupuncture?
When you are very tired, mentally stressed, or fasting, acupuncture is not suitable.
10. Can pregnant women have acupuncture?
Yes, but pregnant women should not have too many acupuncture treatments. Acupuncture is forbidden on the abdomen, lumbosacral area, and acupoints that can cause uterine contractions, such as Hegu, Sanyinjiao, Kunlun, and Zhiyin.
