Hull's first comprehensive Chinese Medicine centre

Our centre was established in 1999. It was the first comprehensive Chinese Medical centre in Hull. With successful practice, the second branch was opened in east Hull seven years later.

We have built up a good reputation across Hull and East Yorkshire for friendly and effective service, specialising in pain relief, skin problems, weight loss, stress, fertility problems and many other conditions.

Our centre abides by the Council's Code of Safe Practice and Code of Professional Conduct, complies with current health and safety legislation, and is fully covered by professional indemnity and public/products liability insurance.

Our practitioner, Dr Huang, has over 30 years of extensive clinical experience. She was trained at Nanjing and Shanghai Universities of Traditional Chinese Medicine — two of the top TCM universities in China.

After five years of full-time study she obtained a BSc in TCM in 1991 from Nanjing University of TCM. She later graduated from Shanghai University of TCM with an MSc in 1997. In 1999 she completed her PhD project and was awarded a Doctor Degree in medicine in the field of acupuncture by Nanjing University of TCM. She has published more than 10 research papers and is fully qualified in both Chinese and western medicine.

Before coming to the UK, Dr Huang worked in the largest general hospitals in Nanjing and Shanghai, accumulating extensive clinical experience and advanced acupuncture skills. She arrived in the UK in 2000 and helped to set up the first comprehensive Chinese Medical centre in Hull at 374 Hessle Road. Since then she has successfully treated thousands of patients across East Yorkshire.

Dr Huang is registered with the Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ATCM) — the regulatory professional body for TCM in the UK. As a fully registered practitioner, the service is recognised by most private health insurance providers.

Our approach to health care is professional, natural, safe and effective — and is rooted in compassion, a commitment to quality and a "whole person" perspective.

We treat a wide spectrum of conditions, but our ultimate goal is to keep you healthy. In our view, health and wellness is an active process along a continuum, shifting with the rhythms of our lives, bodies and emotions.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is both an art and a science of healing — an ancient system with a long, impressive history of alleviating pain and improving the symptoms of many chronic conditions.

TCM sees the body as an integrated whole. Disease may originate locally or in another area of the body, caused by an imbalance in the whole system. The principal aim of TCM is to restore equilibrium between the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of the individual.

TCM is based on the harmonious coexistence of yin and yang. Diagnosis is based on close examination of the patient's tongue, pulse and olfaction, as well as palpation, auscultation and careful questioning.
