DDA’s Rose Oliver visited the “Fu Zhen Tang TCM and Tuina Therapy Clinic”, in Pudong’s Zhang Yang Road in January 2012.
The clinic, founded and run by Dr. Ding Zhao specializes in TCM medicine and diagnosis and Tuina therapy, moxibustion and acupuncture treatments.
Dr. Ding, who has been training in TCM and Tuina since he was very young, hails from Shandong province and has been practicing in Shanghai for several years.
Many of his patients come for his unique acupuncture therapy, which is often a last resort for patients who have already tried traditional and conventional medicine, including operations for spine and disc ailments.
Dr. Ding commented that he feels his patients are like works of art, which he endeavours to set right, so that patients can hopefully lead normal, pain-free lives again.
His tuina therapy combines traditional Chinese medicine methodology, with nerve, bone, joint and muscle treatments from “western sport” medicine, in order to relieve long-standing chronic pain and misalignment conditions, often due to accidents or poor habits.
The clinic is at Number 11, Lane 1528 Zhang Yang Rd, Pudong, by appointment only. For more details, contact the clinic on: 021 – 33908805. ? ?
