***Suka currently resides in Halifax. If you have a question about your continuation of care please email her at suka@acupoint.ca *** Suka is the owner and founder of Acupoint Wellness Centre. She is a registered acupuncturist in Vancouver, BC with over 10 years of experience. She has always had a passion for healthcare. From the time she was young she knew instinctively that she wanted to help others. As a former gymnast and professional dancer, Suka is no stranger to stress, hard work, and pain management. Plagued with multiple injuries she decided to give acupuncture a try as a last resort. A true skeptic and a scaredy-cat about needles, she was willing to try anything to keep doing the one thing that she loved. After only one session she had instant relief of pain which started her on the path to truly healing her injuries. Awed and inspired by this ancient system of medicine she became a believer, and after 15 years of dancing she decided to hang up her dance shoes and study this intriguing art of traditional Chinese medicine. She studied acupuncture at Pacific Coast University – College of Holistic Medicine. From there she went on to the International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine to complete her program of Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Her main focus is treating myofascial pain using acupuncture trigger point therapy and acupoint injection therapy for sports / work related injuries and pain management. She is certified by the Society of Acupoint Injection Therapy for Biopuncture and Vitamin injection therapy. Today, Suka practices at her clinic in downtown Vancouver, BC. With a compassionate heart and the passion to heal, she truly cares about her patients and the well-being of those around her. Her kind and considerate bedside manner immediately puts people at ease. Suka’s continued strive for excellence makes Acupoint Wellness Centre a true destination for natural and alternative medicine in downtown Vancouver.

TMJ stands for Temperomandibular Joint Disorder. If you experience clenching, grinding, popping, clicking of the jaw, pain when you chew, frequent headaches or neck pain, you may have TMJ. Acupuncture can target the root cause of the condition by balancing the mind and body, and helping to reset the neuromuscular tension in the jaw. Acupuncture not only relaxes the targeted muscles in the jaw with motor points, it decreases the overall stress level in the body by treating holistically.
