Michal Metcalfe, the owner of Acupuncture On Eglinton, has experienced positive health impact of acupuncture on her own body. She was only 8 years old when she woke up one night with a strange feeling in her legs. She couldn't walk as her legs were stiff and joints got painfully swollen. She was immediately diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis at the hospital. Facing the possibility of never walking again, Michal's parents drove her straight to Chinatown where she received an acupuncture treatment and a pouch of loose leaf tea. In less than one month of the treatment, Michal was able to make little steps. Fully recovered now, she shares her experience and Chinese medicine knowledge with her patients who suffer from various medical conditions, such as infertility, injuries, depression, allergies, and acid reflux. Besides acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, tui na, and Chinese herbal formulas are also available at the clinic.
