Edward Wong, L.Ac
BY Sandy Lowe
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been healing and improving lives for over 5,000 years. As an expert practitioner of acupuncture and other aspects of TCM, Edward Wong offers these powerful remedies at GJ Wellness right here in the Houston area. After receiving acupuncture from a retired acupuncturist, which were more effective than any medication, this ignited his passion to help others in the same way.
Edward has been practicing medicine for over 15 years as a licensed acupuncturist. He has been training in Tai Chi and Qi Gong for more than 40 years. Both these practices include slow movements, conscious breathing, and focused mental attention to strengthen and enhance the flow of energy throughout the body.
Qi Gong exercises coordinate with breathing to help improve body function. Qi Gong can enhance energy and stamina. Qi Gong strengthens self and can calm the mind to relieve stress and build self-confidence. Qi Gong movements are very simple and can be easily incorporated into a workout. Qi Gong is the foundation of acupuncture so this helped Edward excel faster than
other acupuncturists.
Edward is certified with National Certification Commission for Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine. Part of his medical degree includes pharmacology, and he is qualified to read test results including X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and blood work.
Edward was born and raised in the U.S., and he was strongly influenced by his Chinese culture. He speaks several Chinese dialects fluently. His parents and grandparents often incorporated Chinese herbs for health, which created a strong foundation in his understanding of TCM herbs.
“TCM has opened a new world for me of understanding the ancient knowledge of China,” he says. “TCM has allowed me to understand more deeply how the body works. I have had the wonderful opportunity to help my patients and share insightful knowledge with some of the best acupuncturists around the world.”
Edward also offers a full slate of TCM treatments, including acupuncture, tuina, (acupressure,) and herbal consultation.
He specializes in pain management, diabetes, stroke recovery, anti-aging, immune support, leaking gut syndrome or any digestive issues. Many of his patients have responded well to his medical treatments.
He has helped many athletes stay competitive with acupuncture rehab and vitamin consultation. Acupuncture rehab provides a unique rehabilitation service by combining acupuncture with other modalities to help increase range of motion, flexibility, and strength training for better athletic performance. Besides athletes, others can benefit from the acupuncture rehab for speedy recovery from an injury.
Each medical visit, Edward will spend time reviewing all your test results and will also consider your financial concerns. He may spend as much as two hours with you on your first visit to make sure he understands your situation and is completely prepared to create an individualized treatment plan just for you.
While Traditional Chinese Medicine may be a bit unfamiliar, thousands of people around the world have benefitted from it for thousands of years. Visit GJ Wellness, where Edward can introduce you to these new concepts while leading you on a journey of healing.
