Patient Feedback
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I have had a clicking jaw for a few months. Physiotherapy didn’t help.
Dr Win assessed that the problem was not only my jaw, but also my neck and shoulder muscles.
After the first acupuncture, my neck and shoulder started to relax, and a few days later the jaw clicking was reduced.”

“I’ve had an extremely tight jaw and grinding for years. After several treatments, my jaw opened up and relaxed.
The acupuncture helped bring deep, old knots to the surface, and I could continue improving with self-massage.”

I felt like a new person.”
