Therapeutic Approach is a one-stop-shop for all you complimentary health services. They offer…read moreoriental medicine, allergy testing and acupuncture, physiotherapy, massage therapy, yoga, yoga therapy, naturopathic medicine, osteopathy, nutrition consultation and psychotherapy. It was founded by Maxine and Mike Munro who also started the yoga studio and teacher-training program that reside in the same building. I've been a client for several years, popping in periodically for massage therapy treatments. Located on Quinpool Road just across from the Superstore entrance, parking can be a bit of a challenge. But once you're inside the stress starts to melt away. The reception staff is warm and efficient, everyone is friendly and the atmosphere is pleasantly zen without being so serious that you feel like you're not allowed to giggle. I've heard very good things about the nutritional consultations and naturopathic medicine, and I can confirm first-hand that the RMTs on staff are kinda sorta miracle workers. This is isn't the same massage you would get a spa or salon, but I think it's better - a concerted effort is being made to create an environment of calm ... and you never leave the treatment room and get blasted by music and smell of nail polish. Not that I don't like nail polish, but it's not exactly a scent conducive to stress relief (not for me anyway). If you're looking for a professional place that offers multiple "alternative" medical options, give this little gem a try.

My first acupuncture treatment with L-C went badly. Went there for lower back pain. I was shown a…read morecubicle then left for half an hour, before the doctor came in, she then put in the needles. I felt the pain of needles so I shouted for help. No doctor or nurse came in (they only have someone in reception, and is often off duty). 15 mins later another doctor came in and pulled the needles out. I waited for another while and left. The pain led to me in bed for days. The doctor possessed a shitty attitude and failed to communicate effectively in a professional manner. Dr. Li answered phone calls twice when inserting the needles in me. Totally disappointed with the results. Extremely expensive and next to worthless in my opinion.

I was in a car accident recently and suffered from neck, shoulder and back pain. I came in the day…read moreof the accident and was very well received by the doctors. I believe through the treatments I was able to prevent any severe side effects from the accident. I also heard many good things from the other patients there at the time. If any of you are looking for an acupuncturist then I HIGHLY recommend Dr.Li and Dr.Chen. They both have Ph.Ds in their field and welcome you with a friendly environment that makes you feel like family

NOTE: I would have given a higher score had it not been with our experience with the front desk…read more And its not like we went to this place only 1 time. We went many times... Now my spouse and I have been seeking alternative treatments across the city and we were recommended to this place by our friend. We liked Mike who specializes in osteopath treatment. He was excellent but we have our beef with the way this organization's front desk operate and how they conduct their business. I've seen some unhappy clients complaint about being charge on their credit card and were very upset with the front desk and I can't say exactly for what reason but later on, when I brought my mother for treatment, I was forced to fill in the form with my credit card number on it. That was a little much, because I did not have to do that when I came in earlier. But it told me something - and it made alot of sense as recently as last week when my wife left a message to cancel an appointment, they did not read the message and immediately charge to her credit card on the day that appointment was suppose to happen, without any prior warning!!. So I can understand now why that customer was unhappy with the front desk in one of my earlier visits as this has happened many times before (I presume) and has happen to us now. Look, its not like we're going to run away. We like Mike, so we'll come back. We constantly go for this sorts of treatment and money is not an issue for us, but to be treated this way only puts a bad taste and obviously sends the wrong message. We want to be good and loyal customers, but don't you think loyal customers should be treated better eh??

I don't have much experience with Naturopathic medicine, and I blindly chose this location when I…read morefinally decided to seek out Naturopathic services because it was close to my house. But, I couldn't be more pleased with my choice! Since starting with Dr. Herrington in late fall, I've been extremely pleased with every experience I have at this health centre. The staff are friendly, completely accommodating, and are always smiling - and it's genuine, too. I can't say enough good things about everything to do with Halifax Naturopathic; it's had a huge impact on my own health. It's true that this type of health service isn't for everyone - you'll have to reevaluate a lot of personal health habits and commit to testing out changes, but trust me, even those who don't think they are in need of this type of treatment would likely see amazing benefits. The way I see it, is that a Naturopathic doctor is responsible for your well-being, and at Halifax Naturopathic, you are completely taken care of. The atmosphere is immediately calming, and every appointment I've had has started and ended on time. This never happens at a regular doctor's office! Their range of services encompasses the following: Clinical Nutrition Botanical Medicine Homeopathy Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Nutritional IV Therapy Chelation Therapy Neural Therapy Integrative Cancer Care

Very toxic, unprofessional, stressful work environment. Also very racist especially to Indian…read morepeople, the one owner said they only want white English people working for them, so people can understand them. My boyfriends sister who is Indian went for an interview and all they said was "oh your english no good", interview didn't even last 2 minutes. Constantly micro managed, harrassed, and sometimes others book and it becomes over booked then you dont get a break or lunch. Even while on lunch expect to be interrupted and be put back to work. Also you can expect the owner to call you 40 times a day. Your told the job description yet told to do things out of your job description. Many times patients would come out with needles still in them. Patients sometimes lay there for 30 minutes before the dr even go in. I quit due to stress, I mailed the keys in not knowing you couldnt send by regular mail. They charged me nearly $200 to replace locks. Honestly I feel like they just set the whole thing up because they are salty, if someone found random keys, I do not think they would know what in the world those keys were for. Over all just a bad experience working there. I heard things before, I should have listened but instead I learned the hard way.

I switched jobs so my usual places for acupuncture were no longer convenient. I tried to find a…read moreplace closer to my home and the reviews were good here. This is probably the 5th different acupuncturist, I tried in my life, so I have seen some different skill levels and techniques. This was probably the worst treatment I ever received. I had to do an initial assessment that took 5 minutes tops that cost $60. It consisted of him reading what I wrote on the intake form. This was not covered in my medical plan because he charged me for my treatment on top of the initial assessment and Blue Cross only covers first $110 per treatment. I went back for a second treatment a few days later to confirm the quality of the treatment (biggest mistake). I have been in more pain after meeting with him than before I went. Now I must find someone to fix what he did wrong. The second treatment he spent only 30 minutes treating me and charged me for an hour treatment. I did not realize until I got to my car how long the time took. I called the next day and they confirmed that all treatment should take an hour. Maybe I should be happy because an hour with this quack could only cost me more money in the long run. STAY AWAY.
