Acupuncture is used within the framework of Traditional Oriental Medicine. Sometimes called Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), TCM comprises medical acupuncture, botanical medicine, lifestyle counselling, massage, diet and exercise, with its own system of diagnosis. TCM uses this system to treat patients with a variety of conditions, including pain management, spasm and twitching, edema, allergies and asthma, sleep disorders, digestive and hormonal disorders, integrative cancer care, and stress. The World Health Organization classifies TCM as a major complement to conventional medicine.

L'acupuncture est utilisée dans le cadre de la médecine orientale traditionnelle. Parfois appelée médecine traditionnelle chinoise (MTC), la MTC comprend l'acupuncture médicale, la médecine botanique, le conseil sur le mode de vie, le massage, l'alimentation et l'exercice, avec son propre système de diagnostic. TCM utilise ce système pour traiter des patients souffrant de diverses conditions, notamment la gestion de la douleur, les spasmes et les contractions, l'œdème, les allergies et l'asthme, les troubles du sommeil, les troubles digestifs et hormonaux, les soins intégratifs contre le cancer et le stress. L'Organisation mondiale de la santé classe la MTC comme un complément majeur à la médecine conventionnelle.

Hello! Bonjour! My full name is Dong-Giao TRAN, I am a registered traditional Chinese medicine Practitioner and a registered Acupuncturist. You may call me “G” or Giao (pronounced like “ciao” with a G). Let me introduce myself.

I was formerly a Civil Engineer. I had the joy of building bridges and tunnels, managing the reparation of power nuclear plants in high radiation zones in France and in Hong-Kong. After completing those challenging projects, I changed careers to follow my family medical lineage in traditional East Asian medicine and acupuncture, a medicine and philosophy I was exposed to since young age, in particular at my father medical clinic. After years of practice in the field and guidance from various conscientious senior doctors, and practitioners, I have gained the knowledge and expertise to treat a variety of ailments, diseases and injuries, well beyond neurological disorders.

Scientist by training, passionate and problem solver by nature, I am committed to providing quality of care and clinical results to my patients. For this, I constantly refine my clinical skills and knowledge through research and periodical practice alongside senior clinicians in Vietnam, France, Germany, Switzerland. When time permits, I also involve in the community or provide treatments to patients in less developed countries. I am also proud to be a mentor of caring licensed acupuncturists and medical doctors learning traditional Chinese medicine, both in Canada and abroad.

To provide integrative care, I believe practitioners should be professional, compassionate and sincere. The recovery process from health issues is a journey. It requires a close partnership between the patients, their healthcare providers and their family. I provide this service to all of my patients, in French or in English, with or without cancer.

As an old saying said: “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”. Let’s have a walk together.
