Takahashi Hideo

I was having chronic pain problems with my elbow which was diagnosed by my Dr as tennis elbow and she suggested using a tensor or going to acupuncture. Being deathly afraid of needles, I really didn’t want to but after weeks of no improvement I had to admit defeat and find myself one. I researched high and low the differences between Chinese and Japanese style and when I landed on Japanese being the right fit I started searching for the best ones in the city. I was originally going to go do a different therapist but he suggested Hideo as he had hours that would better accommodate me. He told me many great things about Hideo before I went and I was pleased to see that he lived up to everything I was told.
Hideo has a great bedside manner, will talk you through the process (which for a needle-​phobic person was much appreciated), gentle and responsvie and was always punctual. I went for about 3 sessions and can say that I no longer have chronic pain in my elbow. But I will probably still return for some maintenance. I’ve recommended him to my friends and definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great acupuncturist.

Hideo Takahashi is a very gifted healer and I recommend him highly as someone who has really helped me with my health during the years I lived in Vancouver. When ever I visit Vancouver fr. Calgary I make a point of trying to get in to see him. His clinic is well situated, well kept up and comfortable and I have never found parking to be a problem nearby on the street. Hideo’s rates are very reasonable and he make’s every effort to try to accomodate you at your time preference.
