Sin Kang TCM is insurance compatible with all insurance as long as you are under coverage for TCM. It will be great if you clarify with your insurance provider on the exact terms and conditions such as any cap or restrictions on your TCM coverage. Our policy for insurance claims is that all patients have to go through consultation and an issued diagnosis/memo is required. Do note to declare your requirements prior to the treatment as we can't backdate the diagnosis.

You will need to schedule a Special Consultation ($30) with our physician in most cases when you want to treat your injuries and file an insurance claim. This will provide you with an Issued Diagnosis that you can use to file an insurance claim. If a re-consultation is required, it will cost $10.

只要您在中医承保范围内，Sin Kang TCM 就可以与所有保险兼容。我们建议您与保险提供者了解确切的条款和条件（例如对您的中医承保额度有任何限制或条件）进行确认。我们的保险理赔政策是所有患者都必须经过医师看诊，并建议您在就诊当中和医师索取诊断证明。我们将不可以 回溯 任何诊断备证明。

Tuina and other treatments (excluding acupuncture) are for wellness purposes and do not come with diagnosis and Diagnosis/memo can only be completed and endorsed by our resident physician. If there was no consultation prior to the treatment, we are unable to issue any diagnosis or memos for tuina treatments (other than acupuncture).

Please note that you will require a consultation with one of our registered physicians prior to your treatment to receive diagnosis.

You may check with your company/ insurance company what are the necessary documents for future claim purposes.

我们诊所所有的诊断证明或者备忘录都是必须经过我们的中医师诊疗的，推拿或其他以保健为目的中医治疗（除了针灸）是不会开诊断证明的。所以如果您没有经过我们医师的看诊，我们是不会开任何医疗证明。

如果您想获得诊断证明请在治疗前先向我们的医师看诊。

您可以先向您的保险公司询问需要任何相关文件来索取保险赔偿。

It is not MOH compliant for any TCM Practitioner to write any diagnosis for customers that did not undergo any consultation with our physicians. It is not compliant for us to provide an invoice to include diagnosis, prices and signature too.

所有中医从业者在没有经过医师诊断的情况下是不能给出诊断证明，这不符合MOH的规定。我们也没有办法在提供的发票上，写下诊断，价格和签名。

We do provide MCs but it depends on whether your company accepts an MC issued by a TCM practitioner.

我们诊所有提供MC，但这取决于您的公司是否接受由中医诊所发出的MC。

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Muscle Management is done with a combination of Tui Na, Acupuncture, etc, and herbal medication where necessary.

在中医治疗方法里，肌肉疼痛可以通过结合推拿、针灸等进行治疗，并在必要时使用草药。

The difference lies in the area of focus. While chiropractic focuses on the spine, osteopathy aims to relieve aches and pains and restore general well-being through examining your skeleton, joints, muscles, nerves, blood circulation, connective tissues and internal organs. Just like the other discipline, osteopathy uses non-invasive, manual (though not necessarily the same) techniques, to treat the root of the issue and then tap on the body’s natural ability to heal to restore normal body functions.

不同之处在于关注的领域。 整脊疗法侧重于脊柱，而整骨疗法旨在通过检查您的骨骼、关节、肌肉、神经、血液循环、结缔组织和内脏器官来缓解疼痛并恢复整体健康。 就像其他学科一样，整骨疗法使用非侵入性的手动（尽管不一定相同）技术来治疗问题的根源，然后利用身体的自然愈合能力来恢复正常的身体功能。

It's a facial treatment that involves scraping a flat jade or rose quartz stone over the skin in upward strokes to relax stiff muscles and promote tissue drainage. But unlike a traditional Gua Sha massage, it won’t leave bruise-like marks on your face as it’s done with a much lighter hand. Oh, and you can do it yourself at home.

You’ll notice the best results if you do it every day, but since even taking our multivitamins every day is hard enough, experts say two to three times per week will do. And the time of day you add Gua Sha to your routine matters, too. “In the morning, it’s about treating puffiness and energizing the skin, while at night you work more on relaxing the muscles and releasing tight connective tissue,”

Facial Gua Sha is a massage technique designed to relieve tension in the muscles of the face, boost blood circulation, and encourage lymphatic drainage to banish bloat. It helps break up fascia, the connective tissue that hugs muscles but can sometimes interfere with optimal circulation.

It moves lymphatic fluids and breaks down tension in muscles. That means improved blood flow and less puffiness. The increase in circulation is said to up hydration for that coveted youthful glow, and it even helps the skin to naturally purge blemish-causing dirt and oils.

This is a Chinese word that is pronounced as Gwah-Shah is defined in two parts — “Gua” means “scrape” while ‘Sha’ is said to mean “sand” by some people, while others seem to give it “redness of skin”. We could say it is a method of scraping away disease, fever or some type of sickness from the body generally. However, other words for the term “Gua Sha” are skin scraping, spooning, and coining.

GuaSha Massage has been widely used by the ancient Chinese for a really long while now as a folk therapy. In the Ming Dynasty between 1368 and 1644, the procedure was scientifically computed into major medical records. Although the period of the practice of Gua Sha is assumed to be much older, its first computed record dates back to about 700 years ago during the era of the Ming Dynasty.

Historical records on GuaSha date back to the Paleolithic Age. When people fell ill or entered a coma, hands or stones, as well as household materials such as coins or tins, were used to massage parts of their body to help reduce the side effects and symptoms of their illnesses.

In recent years face mask gua sha was rebranded - to be relaxing, meditative, or perhaps luxurious. The treatment started with two condition: sudden rapid collapse of the body due to heatstroke and seasonal diseases like cold virus. Traditional Chinese Medicine was commonly used as long as the Yuan Dynasty if farmers were dying from exhaustion from working under the hot sun. Gua Sha Facial Fusion uses flat grooved tooling made of jade rose crystal and other divinely polished stones to assist manual drain of sluggish lymph, that may cause puffiness and. Facial renewing is a traditional twist to our wellness cycle.

Clinics claim cosmetic acupuncture or 'face acupuncture' benefits can be seen after 10 - 12 sessions. However, patients have claimed to see improvement in their skin as soon as a week or two after their first session.

Cosmetic acupuncture is perfect for aging skin. Since those micro-traumas help your skin produce collagen and elastin, skin will look more filled out and youthful.

Results may last years with regular maintenance treatments. Maintenance treatments are recommended to be done every 4 to 8 weeks for the best results.

The needle used by the facial acupuncture that is applied to your face will cause a positive micro-trauma in your skin. This positive trauma sends signals for your skin to increase the blood flow to the affected areas and naturally produce collagen. The increase in blood and oxygen to your face will not only help your skin repair itself, but many patients have found the treatment to be incredibly relaxing!

In fact, most of our customers left feedback saying they found acupuncture very soothing and relaxing. In certain cases, there might be just a tinge of soreness, which is due to the muscles being activated to stimulate blood flow. The soreness usually goes away very quickly.

针灸针可能看起来又尖又吓人，但实际上并不痛。针灸针很细，堪比蚊虫叮咬，一般人也感觉不到。因此，大多数人在针入时几乎不会感到疼痛！

事实上，我们的大多数客户都留下反馈说他们发现针灸非常舒缓和放松。在某些情况下，可能只是有点酸痛，这是由于肌肉被激活以刺激血液流动。酸痛通常会很快消失。

Acupuncture fees vary according to the complexity of the acupuncture treatment received, for instance single area acupuncture, double area acupuncture and multiple areas/whole body acupuncture.

Hardly any blood is lost by acupuncture. The holes made are hardly perceivable, and often painless and will recover quickly after the end of the session

针灸几乎不会流失任何血液。 造成的伤口几乎察觉不到，并且通常是无痛的，并且会在治疗结束后迅速恢复

Acupuncture activates self-healing by stimulating specific areas on the body with small needles that penetrate the skin. Though the needles are exceedingly thin, they occasionally hit small blood vessels, resulting in a mild bruise. These injuries are usually painless. This is normal and the bruise may last several days then disappear entirely. It's uncommon to bruise, but does occur occasionally, depending on the patient.

If bruising occurs, apply a thin piece of potato to the bruised area as you would with a cucumber during a facial.

针灸通过用刺入皮肤的小针刺激身体的特定区域来激活自我修复。 虽然针头非常细，但它们偶尔会击中小血管，导致轻微瘀伤。 这些损伤通常是无痛的。 这是正常现象，瘀伤可能会持续几天，然后完全消失。 瘀伤并不常见，但偶尔会发生，具体取决于患者。
