Six unedited accounts from the people our clinic is written for — Filipinos and Chinese-Filipinos in their middle and later years, living with arthritis, sciatica, frozen shoulder, and the long quiet of cervical spondylosis. Names used with permission.
"Fifteen years of Western medicine had normalised my arthritic hands. Six sessions at Synergy and I am holding my grandchild again without wincing."
"Sciatica on the left, for two years. Dr. Chua read my pulse, wrote a herbal formula, started acupuncture. By session ten I was walking BGC again without stopping."
"My frozen shoulder woke me every night for eight months. The Meridian Series gave me my sleep back in twelve weeks. Discreet, precise, and never rushed."
"As a Chinese-Filipino, I was raised on TCM — but the rigour here is beyond anything I grew up with. Dr. Chua's pulse reading is remarkable."
"Rheumatoid arthritis in my fingers. Maxicare wouldn't cover conventional care beyond a point. Synergy's HMO-friendly receipts and Dr. Yabut's integrative approach changed my week-to-week life."
"Cervical spondylosis. I came after three orthopaedists and two MRI reports. Tuina and acupuncture in combination — the best three months of my neck in ten years."
Seventy-five minutes of pulse, tongue, history and a written plan — in a quiet Legazpi Village room, at a pace set entirely by you.
