I came in here 10 months postpartum with severe back pain and numbness on both my hands. And fear of needles. She handled me very well, she’s very careful. I didn’t feel any pain from the procedure. First session, back pain completely gone. Hands feeling a lot better. Such a relief! Highly recommended!

I have struggled with severe lumbar pain for over 20 years and after only 5 electroacupuncture treatments from Salin I feel she has significantly reduced my pain. I have gone to countless health-care providers continuously over the years and no one has been able to help me reduce my pain level that now exists today. Recently an acquaintance told me a remarkable story about how Salin cured her daughter from an ailment that doctors were unable to cure. So, I simply had to visit her. In my opinion, she is “one of a kind” in her profession which must be due to her extensive education in acupuncture which included training in a major hospital in China and her passion for continuing education in her field. In addition to her extraordinary talent as an Acupuncturist, she has developed a deep understanding of physical exercises from A1 courses which she is taking to help her clients. She has changed my exercise routine to focus on strengthening muscles which will aide in improving areas causing my pain. She inspired me with an effective exercise program that gives me hope of ending my pain while carefully watching my trigger points. Salin, I am very grateful to you. Gerry Larke

Salin is a very skillful practitioner of Acupuncture and a truly gifted healer who has helped me with chronic pain relief. Her warm and welcoming clinic sets the tone for a peaceful and relaxing experience. (So relaxing that I fall asleep during treatment) Salin’s thorough but gentle techniques yield very good results of which I am most grateful. I highly recommend her.

Very happy with Salin’s acupuncture technique. Pain relief happens in the 24 hours following treatment and lasts.
Especially happy with the care she shows when tracking my pain paths. Never have had such care & attention to detail from a health practioner before. I highly recommend her.

If you are like me and had a problem that Drs or other members of the health services were not able to help you with, go see Salin Acupuncture. For 4 years I was suffering from headaches that would come on 16 days out of every months, Saw Neurologist, he could not find anything wrong, saw Physiatrist they decided to give me injections in the neck twice, nothing worked, saw Ostheopath, it would help but two days later the pain was back. Not to mention Physio Therapist, Sports therapist I had done them all. The Drs kept giving me pills and more pills, try this or that. The only think I had not tried was acupuncture. During my first visit to Salin, she was able to diagnose that the problem was not coming from my neck but my shoulder. I had a first treatment and I felt like a new women, for 10 days headaches where a thing of the past, I was able to reduce by 2/3 the amount of pills I was taking….Today was my second visit and I am sure that with Salin’s help and my determination I will never need to endure those awful headaches! For those who might be afraid of needles, IT DOESN’T HURT AT ALL. Thank you Salin for giving me my life back!

It took a while to find an acupuncturist that provided as much expertise/pain relief as the one I had been seeing for chronic pain on the mainland for the last 25 yrs, but Salin has filled that spot. She took the time on my first appointment to listen about the areas I was having problems with, and then also gained further insight using TCM methods I had become used to being used. My first appointment gave me much pain relief, and with the help of some exercises she emailed later things improved even more. My follow-up appointment provided even more relief, to the point where I may only need maintenance sessions going forward. (not to mention that I find the treatments so very relaxing and revitalising, almost like a spa treatment). Salin is caring, knowledgeable and genuinely interested in helping people heal. Highly recommend!!

i would highly recommend Salin Accupuncure to anyone who suffers from pain. She is fantastic, knowledgable and extremely accomodating. I showed up in a transfer chair and cane with a year old muscle pain caused by sneezing and voila she made the pain go away while having to rearrange her treatment area with no fuss or making me feel like i was causing her trouble. The needles that make people so afraid are the size of a human hair not what is depicted on media, she is very attentive to any discomfort in everyway. This is not the first accupuncurist I have seen but she is the only one i would reccomend. Five stars aren’t enough she should get 10 stars.

I’ve had back and shoulder pain for a while before I made an appointment to see Salin. Her extensive knowledge and exceptional service makes her the only acupuncturist I trust. I recommend a combination of acupuncture and cupping in one visit if time permits. You will leave feeling lighter…healed.

I didn’t have to wait. Salin is always on time. She takes great interest in my condition and always asks how the last session compared to the previous one. My pain has shown much improvement. Salin’s treatment area is very clean and organized. And we always have some great chats. See you soon Salin.

You tried so hard and took so much time to bring comfort to the pain I’m in. You explained your treatment so well to me so I could understand the reasons for what you did today. Thank you Salin.

I have been a client of Salin’s for 5 months now. I have been suffering with chronic hip, low and middle back pain for years, which I have been managing through regular registered massage therapy treatments. Although those treatments have been beneficial, the relief was only temporary. After my first acupuncture treatment with Salin, my pain disappeared in the targeted areas and I have been living pain free for months. I was in disbelief !!!! I continue to see Salin regularly for maintenance as I am an active person and my body has never felt better. The location is convenient, close to highway access in a country setting. Very peaceful and beautiful. Her office is clean and I feel very relaxed when I am there. Salin listens, takes lots of notes during each treatment and appears to be just as invested in my health and well being as I am. Thank you Salin!!!!!! I have since been referring my friends and family to her.

I was referred to Salin, by one of her clients, for chronic back and knee pain, which was keeping me up at night. I received three treatments, over two months, and have been pain free for several months.

It is very seldom to find a practitioner who puts their heart into every treatment. Salin is a very intuitive and thorough acupuncturist.

Salin Acupuncture gets my two thumbs up and five stars for quality of service, expediency of service and for something that is rare these days in clinics – compassion and empathy. In three visits Dr. Salin Webb was able to treat my acute neck pain ( which I had been hospitalized for a week prior) taking it from an unbearable state ( not being able to turn my head to the left or get out of bed without excruciating pain) to a pathway back to functionality and normalcy. I highly recommend this clinic!!

Having come to Canada on a Holiday from Holland. I never expected to end up in Salin Acupuncture Clinic. During my time in Canada. I traveled to Alberta visiting friends along the way. After a few weeks I spend time doing carpentry and did some heavy lifting. Bad idea, as I sprained my lower back and was in severe pain during my return to Vancouver. By that time I had difficulty to function normal, could not bend my back ,or put my socks on. A good friend of mine made the suggestion to try acupuncture to relieve the pain and discomfort . I made a appointment with Salin acupuncture clinic for my first treatment. Doctor Salin ask me a lot of questions and took her time to find out exactly how I had injured my back and where the pain was located. She then proceeded to give me my first treatment, which took about forty five minutes. I made another appointment for my second treatment which I received three days after my first appointment. A few days after my second treatment my back had improved by 80% and I could function again. Doctor Salin recommended a third treatment which I was grateful for, because a few days after my third treatment my back pain was completely gone and I was able to spend the last week of my holidays in Vancouver pain free. What a relief!
I would recommend Salin Acupuncture to anyone with a back problem, or any kind of pain problem. I was impressed by her professionalism and the time she took to locate the problem and cured me.

Thank you so much Doctor Salin!

Wish to thank you so much for all your help and information both to myself and Ian and for all your good work. I so enjoyed the great massage, and the cupping and acupuncture, it has made such a difference to my neck and back pain due to my arthritis and lifting heavy articles etc.
I can’t recommend you enough to my friends, as you have been the best so far in the treatment for my arthritis in upper and lower back. GREAT JOB.
We will miss you so much wish we could take you to Europe with us!!!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
You have done what a series of doctors, physiotherapists and pain specialists could not do. After hurting myself in yoga class and living in constant pain for two years, your acupuncture treatment has finally freed me from back, neck and leg pain. You have given me my life back. I can now exercise and sleep throughout the night again.

I’ve never tried acupuncture before, until my friend convinced me to. I had pain on my left arm for years and I also had lower back pain, due to heavy lifting at work. Taking painkillers helped only for a few hours, then the pain comes back. After my friend told me about Salin, I thought that I should give acupuncture a try. The needles are very small, thin, sterile, and disposed after the first use. (I thought the needles would be bigger and thick like in the movies). I don’t feel the needles at all. I feel something that Salin calls ” a sensation” running from my shoulder to my finger tip. The “sensation” from the needles on my buttocks run through my leg. About 2 hours after the treatment, I felt much better. The next day, the pain is all gone.”

In 1997 I was involved in a car accident which left me with soft tissue damage to my neck and shoulders. Over the years I experienced neck and back pain with numbness down my right arm to the point I could not even lift my arm. I spent years going to the Chiropractor and Massage Therapist. I got temporary relief but no long term relief. After seeing Salin for acupuncture she was able to release a pinched nerve in my neck which had been causing the numbness to my right arm. My neck and back pain doesn’t bother me anymore and I am able to gain true mobility of my neck again. Whenever I feel tightness I will go to Salin for a tune up. I can’t believe the results as I was not a believer of acupuncture until I actually had the treatments.

I would strongly recommend to anyone who has neck or back pain to try Salin Acupuncture.

Thank you so much for curing all my pain. Now I can sleep through the night. I had so many problems. Neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain and leg pain. My family doctors recommend me to see an acupuncturist. I hope god will give you more power and strength so you can help more patients that are in
need of your services.

A magnificent boutique with many services on offer. The quality of the treatments I received made me feel better very quickly, and I could see the long-term effects on my health. Salin is a care professional whom I recommend. She takes the time to listen to your needs and respond with care.

Salin takes the time to truly get to the root of your problems. I suffer from stiff neck and shoulders. After 4 treatments I was pain free for over a year!

Salin is incredible. I used her services for two reasons. I was in a car accident (rear-ended) in January and she has been supporting my healing journey and with pain management. In addition, I have been having some menstrual issues and her treatments have helped tremendously.

Salin is one of the best I’ve seen! Her treatments are of the utmost care and her expertise and knowledge goes beyond expectations. She has helped me so much with my symptoms of hot flashes thru treatments and herbs.

After Salin’s facial rejuvenation acupuncture treatments, I noticed a difference in my skin’s radiance, tone, and evenness. My skin feels fantastic, and there is definitely a healthy glow and a reduction in fine lines.

Salin is amazing! My acupuncture appointment with her exceeded all expectations. She is so skilled, knowledgeable, kind, and professional. The service I received (facial acupuncture) was the best I have ever experienced.

I’ve struggled with chronic pain for many years and most therapies I’ve tried have not had the effect Salin’s acupuncture sessions have. I felt a significant reduction in pain following her treatments. She is very caring, professional and knowledgeable.

How fortunate to find someone of Salin’s caliber outside of the city! I’ve found her acupuncture treatments both relaxing and highly effective.

I was looking for a holistic and natural approach to facial aging. I am so pleased with the series of facial rejuvenation treatments that I have been receiving from Dr Salin. My skin tone and texture have improved dramatically, and my forehead furrows have diminished. But the effect I feel in my whole being is what sets this service apart. The restorative hands of this skilled practitioner is beyond just ‘face value’ but the entire body feels nourished and cared for.

I tried Facial Rejuvenation at Salin Acupuncture. I can see the difference right away. The complexion is brighter. After a few treatments, my skin looks more firm and more clear. During the treatment Dr. Salin asked me all kinds of questions about my stress, my life style, my energy, my appetite,… She said she treats body as a whole. Beautiful face starts from inside out. I am so happy with the treatment.

Salin is by far my favourite acupuncturist I’ve ever been to. I received treatments for stress and fertility regularly. She’s So knowledgeable and so incredibly caring. She is very calm and comforting and her acupuncture treatments are SO effective.

When I was young I could easily and quickly let go of all bad energy and stress. Through the years I forgot how. I carried too much forward. Thanks to Salin and her specialized techniques in acupuncture, cupping and herbal remedies I can breathe again. I am more relaxed. I am able to clear my mind for the first time in years. I am able to let go of all stress and in doing so I feel like I’m 16 again.
Thank you Salin

At 50 years of age, I have struggled with my weight all my life. I was referred to Salin and have I never seen a doctor this kind. She spend a lot of time consulting with me to find out my life history in order to better understand my medical issues. My family doctor never took the time to find out what might be the cause of my problems. Just give you a pill and send you home. After treatments two times per week for one month I lost one inch from my waist and I feel thinner. Salin consulted with me on my change of diet and lifestyle which resulted in me feeling better than I ever felt in my life. I am able to do things I didn’t do before and my confidence and self esteem is the best it’s ever been. Finding someone who genuinely cares for their patients is hard to find. With Salin I got the best care ever. I would recommend her to any of my family or friends for any of their medical needs.

My daughter and I have used Saline in the last year quite regularly and hands down the best we’ve ever had she has helped so incredibly much with our pain and the rest of our health issues.

I’ve had eczema all my life. The peak of it is in the summer time, when it is really dry and hot out. Salin prescribed me some herbs to put in a cool bath, and some herbs to make tea out of, on a hot day. The bath herbs really relieved the itch and the tea helped to cool my body down, so my eczema wasn’t as itchy. The tea tastes really good too. I starting taking these herbs when I was 10 years old, and my eczema hasn’t come back since. I also have insomnia, so Salin applied a needle directly between my eyebrows. She leaves it in for about 10 minutes, and I fall fast asleep, and don’t wake up during the middle of the night.

Visiting Salin was my first experience with acupuncture – she was very thorough and helped with issues even more than my presenting complaint! I had had a constant headache for over 6 weeks and after 2 sessions with Salin and other therapies she suggested, it is finally gone. My sleep has also improved dramatically. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I’ve been struggling with fibromyalgia for years, and I can honestly say that seeing this acupuncturist has completely changed my life. After just a few sessions, the pain that has been with me for so long has virtually disappeared. Not only has the pain subsided, but my overall well-being has improved tremendously. I feel more energetic, sleep better, and can now enjoy activities that were once impossible due to pain. I am so grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone dealing with chronic pain or fibromyalgia.

I came to Salin with ongoing wrist pain that had been ongoing for years. From the very first session, I felt like I was in good hands. She took the time to listen and explain everything. Not only did my wrist pain improve, but I was able to address other health concerns as well. I am very happy with the results and highly recommend Salin to anyone looking for effective, compassionate care.

Having recently begun acupuncture treatments, I am pleased to share that I have been impressed with the results after just one session, and I have observed positive changes in both my mood and physical well-being with each subsequent visit. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Salin is extremely professional, kind, and competent. She listened to my concerns prior to completing my treatment. The results were amazing! I’ve seen her for a couple of different issues and she has helped me work through each one! Beautiful location, and very easy to book appointments online.

Amazing. I have had many visits and always resolves my issues. My ear was clogged for weeks and after just one visit I could feel the fluid leaving my face, cured the following morning. I highly recommend checking in on your health here ♡.I have also had cupping for back and head pain. I just cant say enough about how amazing this is for your health.

When I started treatment with Salin I could barely eat and was in constant pain. Having had cancer twice and multiple surgeries, I was weak and tired all the time. After seeing her regularly, I’m finally feeling better! Each acupuncture treatment has left me feeling stronger and healthier. My energy is returning and I’ve been able to eat normally. Acupuncture is the only thing I’ve found that has helped me manage the pain and symptoms of having multiple organs removed. I highly recommend seeing Salin!

I was a bit hesitant to try acupuncture, but I’m so glad I gave it a chance with Salin! She’s incredibly warm and welcoming, which made me feel comfortable right away. The treatments have made such a noticeable difference, and I’m so thankful for her care. I highly recommend Salin to anyone—she’s wonderful!

I would highly recommend Salin. She is so caring and compassionate. She is always doing research to explore ways of dealing with all problems you bring to her. Awhile back she completely cured my eczema and dermatitis.

Salin is an amazing acupuncturist! I’ve been seeing her for almost a year now and she’s helped me with my menopause symptoms and insomnia. Salin is caring, gentle, and attentive, and goes the extra mile.

I visited Salin for ongoing digestive issues, eczema and fatigue and in less than 24 hours my stomach discomfort and the inflammation in my eczema had completely disappeared, and I felt more energetic.

I had terrible eczema on my arms and hands for years before I came to Salin. My regular doctor just gave me steroid cream… But Salin has managed to almost completely clear it up.

Salin is a phenomenal acupuncturist. She is kind, listens thoughtfully, and provides exceptional service. Highly recommended.

Dr. Salin is my best acupuncture doctor of all time. I have tried several doctors before I found her. She is so professional and constantly provide customized treatment to each patient. Her caring and focusing to help her patients is touching my heart. It was a big loss to me that she relocated to Nanoose Bay. If you live in the area, please give her a try. When you need to deal with needles and heat (from cupping), you need someone you can trust!!!!

I started seeing Salin when my husband and myself were trying to get pregnant. We had tried for four years with no luck and was in the process of a third ivf embryo transfer when I started acupuncture treatment. Salin was extremely knowledgeable and it resulted in a successful third transfer. We now have a beautiful healthy baby girl. Thank you!

I was referred to Sailn, by one of her clients, for chronic back and knee pain, which was keeping me up at night. I received three treatments, over two months, and have been pain free for seval months. These treatments have changed my life.

Salin is very through and asks relevant questions to deliver a personalized treatment plan. She is concerned with providing a high level of care and often provides additional information including stretch techniques to aid in recovery. I highly recommend Salin Acupuncture.

After moving from Ontario my wife and i were looking for an acupuncturist. After one false start we found Salin and i am very pleased with the results. Her treatment is effective and and her demeanor is wonderful. She also takes the time to ensure a full review your needs even though I was just continuing treatments I previously had (in Ontario). Salin recommended other changes in my day to day life that has also helped me. My issues were lower back related.

Excellent acupuncturist nerve pain in my jaw for over 3 years. Dentists and oral surgeon and GP were unable to diagnose or cure. On my first visit to Salin she not only diagnosed and cured it, she also did internet research and provided me with additional information.

For 30 years I fought a chronic cold-like / allergy-like symptom. I could not go to any social function without having to take cold or allergy pills. I saw about 20 different doctors, from modern to traditional doctors. I spent more than $10,000 trying to heal myself. By the time I met Dr Salin , I was in a state of “I don’t think this will work but I have to try it because I’m desperate “. However, to my surprise, she took the time to interview me about the history of my symptoms. She prescribed a custom-made-for-me herbal medicine. Within 5 days I felt much better and all the symptoms had disappeared. 30 years of torture ended in just 5 days. I would highly recommend her.

I hurt my neck and shoulders I couldn’t move or turn them around. And after coming to your place 1 time my pain is all gone the next day, thank you so much I rate this 10/10.

I’d highly recommend Salin Acupuncture, after 2 visits my knee is feeling so much better. Very professional, and a lovely space.

Recently I visited Salin Acupuncture. For the past few years I had difficulty sleeping. I tried all kinds of different avenues with no success. After Satin’s treatments with acupuncture I am able to sleep the whole night and feel better than I have for many years. I have more energy and feel more productive as a result. I highly recommend Salin Acupuncture.

I don’t like to take Western Medicine if not necessary. When my family doctor said I needed to take the medicine because my blood pressure is too high, I didn’t know what to do. My friend at work recommend me to see Salin. With acupuncture treatments and a custom herbal remedy, my blood pressure was back to normal. She also recommend me to adjust my life style to be healthier. Now I never felt better. Thanks to Salin.

I never thought that Acupuncture could treat Bell’s Palsy. After talking to my mom, she recommends me to see Salin. I was so scared that my face will never get back to normal. My mouth was all droopy and I
couldn’t hold the food in my mouth. My left eye and my nose were also droopy. After my second treatment with Salin I started to see that my face was getting better and five treatments in 2 weeks, my face was back to normal. I was lucky to find Salin who could fix me in such a short time period as my condition could have taken more than 4 months to get better. I would recommend Salin for people who have Bell’s Palsy.

I had a bad sore throat and swollen for weeks and have been seen by a doctor at Burrard clinic. After rush through times, the doctor didn’t have any answers and suggested blood test. I had to wait for 4 business day for results. I did tests on wednesday and and didn’t get any reply for 7 days. After 4 days of pain, I consult with dr. Salin at Salin Acupuncture. She immediately has answer for me and prescribe me herb medicine. I felt better within 36 hours and back to full health before the Burrrad clinic contacted me. I would highly recommend to go to Salin Acupuncture for any of your pain concern.
