Education and Clinical Background

Erik completed an Advanced Diploma in Traditional Chinese Medicine at Eight Branches Academy of Eastern Medicine. His four-year training included acupuncture, Chinese medicine theory, diagnosis and extensive clinical practice, as well as a two-month clinical internship in China. He is registered with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario as both an R.Ac and R.TCMP.

Treatment Approach

Erik believes care works best when patients feel heard and understand the reasoning behind their treatment. Each visit begins with a conversation about current symptoms, daily activities and treatment goals. He then develops an individualized plan that may include acupuncture, dry needling, electroacupuncture or cupping.
