The eight questions we hear most
All of it, said plainly
Booking, documents, therapies, decoction, follow-up intervals, and the relationship between Guangshengyuan and Guangyuyuan — everything we could think of is here. Anything missing, call +86 181 6570 2496; the voice on the phone is one of ours.
Is it convenient for Hong Kong residents to visit?
Yes. The clinic is at B201, Yashi Lijing Yuan, 2502 Nanhai Avenue, Nanshan District, Shenzhen. Visitors from Hong Kong typically cross at Lo Wu or Futian checkpoint and continue by Shenzhen Metro, or cross at Shenzhen Bay and take a taxi. Please bring a valid travel document (e.g. Home Return Permit) for registration. Call +86 181 6570 2496 to book; 1–3 days in advance is recommended.
What is Wang's Spinal Therapy?
Wang's Spinal Therapy — officially 'Wang's Vertebral Therapy under TCM Diagnostics' (王氏脊椎療法), commonly written as Wang's Spine Therapy — is a national intangible cultural heritage of China, inscribed in the third national list in 2011 (Item No. 441). It combines meridian-based point selection, superficial needling, herbal-boiled bamboo cups and negative-pressure herbal penetration, mainly for chronic spinal-related discomfort of the neck, shoulder, back and lumbar region. Our clinic applies this technique, performed by licensed TCM physicians.
What is acupoint catgut embedding?
Acupoint catgut embedding places an absorbable thread at acupuncture points to provide longer-lasting stimulation — an extension of acupuncture suitable for those who cannot visit frequently. Whether it is appropriate, and which points to use, is decided by the physician after in-person assessment.
What should I bring for a first visit?
Please bring a valid ID (Hong Kong residents may use the Home Return Permit). If you have seen doctors before, bring prior records, test reports and a list of current medications, so the physician can assess the full picture.
Do you provide herbal decoction service?
Yes. Herbal materials are sourced with priority from authentic (daodi) growing regions and can be dispensed and decocted for you, or dispensed as granules. Decoction method, timing and dietary guidance are explained at the dispensary.
Where can I check the address and opening hours?
The clinic is at B201, Yashi Lijing Yuan, 2502 Nanhai Avenue, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong (Guangyuyuan Nanyou Branch), open Daily 09:00–20:00. Public-holiday arrangements are announced separately. Call +86 181 6570 2496 for the latest schedule.
What is the relationship between "Guangshengyuan" and "Guangyuyuan"?
Guangshengyuan is one of the historic trade names behind Guangyuyuan. According to the official introduction of the Shanxi Guangyuyuan Group: Guangyuyuan began as the Guangsheng Pharmacy in 1541, passing through the names Guangshengju, Guangshengwei, Guangshengyu and Guangshengyuan; in the Qing dynasty it ranked with Chen Li Ji, Tong Ren Tang and Hu Qing Yu Tang as one of the "Four Great Pharmacies"; in 2006 it became a first-batch China Time-honoured Brand, and the traditional craftsmanship of Guiling Ji, Dingkun Dan and Angong Niuhuang Wan are national intangible cultural heritage. Our clinic was established in 2022 as an independent practice — the name borrows an old house's light; the credentials and the craft are our own.
Is Wang's Spinal Therapy suitable for me?
The therapy mainly addresses chronic spinal-related discomfort of the neck, shoulder, back and lumbar region — commonly cervicalspondylosis, frozen shoulder, lumbar strain, lumbar disc herniation (non-acute) and knee osteoarthritis presenting with pain and restricted movement. It is not applied over broken skin, with bleeding tendencies, or during pregnancy. Suitability is decided by the physician in person.
