Travis McIndoe ~ Acupuncturist, Master Herbalist

Kelowna acupuncturist, master herbalist
     Travis McIndoe TCMP received both Acupuncture and Master Herbalist diplomas from the Alberta College of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.  He has received a Master's degree in acupuncture with a special focus in the treatment of pain from Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the #1 ranked Chinese medicine university in China. He lived in Asia for over ten years spending the bulk of that time in Taipei, Taiwan.  He has received advanced training in Taiwan and China in treating pain, infertility, depression, and many other conditions.  He has obtained certificates from Zhe Zhang University of Chinese Medicine, Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine and and the Taiwan International Medical Training Center in Taipei.  Travis has interned as an acupuncturist at Taipei Hospital, Nanjing University Hospital, and Zhe Jiang University hospital and well known private clinics in Taiwan.  He has traveled great distances from Sri Lanka to China and Taiwan, throughout North America and even Costa Rica to learn from the most renowned acupuncturists and clinical herbalists, spending time with them and interning in their clinics.  
     Travis is an expert in Chinese pulse diagnosis, not only mastering classical assessment methods, but innovating new techniques and theories to understand the current physiology of the body through the radial pulse.  Pulse diagnosis can be used to understand the health and status of twelve TCM organ systems, toxicity, blood flow patterns and Chinese concepts such as Qi, Yin and Yang among many other things.  Pulse diagnosis not only provides a assessment tool, but also a feedback system to confirm the efficacy of treatment in real time as the pulse normalizes.

Travis has also completed the highest level of advanced training in MicroAcupuncture with Andy Rosenfarb in New Jersey, USA.  MicroAcupuncture is a contemporary acupuncture technique used to treat serious eye conditions resulting in vision loss.  For more information check out our page about it here:  MicroAcupuncture
