XUE YI TCM CLINIC - 50 E Coast Rd

Had wrist tendonitis and trigger finger for a couple of months seeing another TCM doctor. Almost 3 months of acupuncture and medicine led to very limited improvements and was referred to check him out as he is a specialist in pain management and sports injury. I was expecting him to do some Tuina and painful massage as that's how TCM is perceived to me, no pain no gain. But I was just asked to do simple small movements as he tries to get the muscle to "go back home". No idea what that meant and it looks like total hocus pocus scam job at first but within 30 mins, the strain in my fingers for the last 3 months was very much reduced. What also amazed me was I didn't shared with him much about where my pains were as he immediately went into diagnosis mode and quite accurately pinpoint where my pains were. So he knows his stuff! Thoroughly impressed and highly recommended if you are experiencing any persistent muscle related pains.

Great doctor, very dedicated and professional. Thorough in treatment of level 2 sprained ankle. After treatment, ankle feels better.

The guy is really good. Had visited him out of chance for a neck pain that was troubling me for weeks... At first I though it was a waste of time because his treatment is totally unlike the others that I have visited. There were no hard tear rolling adjustments that I usually get from a TCM just soft manipulation. Left the clinic feeling very unsatisfied but I started to feel noticeable change in the next few days time and in about a week's time the pain was gone. He made me realize that you don't need a painful massage to cure your pain.... Totally recommended. Give it a try I am sure you will also have an eye opening experience.

Have been going to him for any injuries for years, since the time he was with a big TCM center at sports hub. Hubby went to him for tennis elbow which was somehow resolved in 3 sessions! It all seems very odd at first as he doesn’t do the usual painful tuina, and gets you to just sit on this specific chair, and figure out where your muscles have gone ‘off’, then will start to re-align things to get the muscles to line up properly. Helped my painful muscle spasms, my son’s knee sprain too. And he somehow sorts it all out in a manner where there is minimal pain! Did a consult after my hubby had ACL Tear surgery, and he was very honest to say that hubby should focus on physiotherapy, rather than TCM. Would highly recommend it to anyone with an injury!

I was suffering from Cervical spondylosis for over 1.5 years, every night lying down to sleep was a nightmare for me as I felt like my upper spine was sticking together and my shoulders were super tight. The discomfort worsened over time, recently even my lower back start to hurt and the doctor diagnosed me with a slipped disc. No amount of cooling gel, chiropractic treatment, medicine, acupuncture or any exercise could relieve my pain and suffering. I couldn't walk, sit, stand or sleep without feeling all the discomfort + pain in my back and shoulders. I remember crying every single night because crying was the only way to distract me from the horrible sensations going on physically, and crying pushes me to the point of exhaustion so I can force my body to fall asleep. All these changed when I found Huang Yishi. After the first treatment with him, for the first time I managed to fall asleep at 10.30pm!!! which hasn't happened in a long long time. And for the first night in weeks I actually stopped crying. The sensations in my upper back went away, and my spine stopped making many cracking sounds whenever I move. The second treatment took away the pain from my lower back. I just want to say a huge huge huge thank you to Huangyishi for alleviating my suffering. Right now I no longer feel so trapped in my own body, this is true freedom :) I am so so so happy. The road to recovery is still long, but I am confident that I will recover fully under Huangyishi's care! Thank you so much Huangyishi, you have no idea how much you changed my life, in just 2-3 treatments. Highly highly recommend physician Huang, I have never experienced any treatment as effective as his. He understands all my pain and can point out where and what my sensations are, extremely professional and skilled. Thank you so much Huang Yishi !!!

I suffered from edema with aches and pains in the upper and lower back. This made distance walking unbearable and my daily life almost a struggle. To soothe the aches and pains, I applied medicinal plasters which with prolong use took a toll on my body resulting in skin irritation and sores. An x-ray of the lumbar spine ordered by my family doctor showed among others, degenerative changes and loss of L4/5 and L5/S1 disc spaces. I was prescribed pain killer and muscle relaxant and sent for physiotherapy. With limited improvement, I saw a TCM physician who tugged and pulled at my limbs so vigorously that I feared he may break my bones in the process. Miraculously and almost instantaneously, I was able to walk pain free. However, the relief is transitory and short-lived. When I heard that an acquaintance felt better after just one session with a certain TCM physician, I vowed to check it out and came to know of Dr. Huang Hsueh Yi and his Xue Yi TCM Clinic. He proceeded to work on my edema and after several sessions of sitting on a rotating chair where he "open up the pipes" with a gentle tap here and a gentle tap there (it amazed me but he appeared to be able to hear and feel the energy and force going through my system !!!), my swollen leg became less swollen and the shin bone became noticeable. This was followed by acupuncture sessions performed on the lower back which further reduced the swell and gradually relieved most of the aches and pains on my back. "Detached" and "released" of fascia was also done by mere gentle manoeuvring. This incident changed my perception of TCM. I now know that TCM is able to accomplish what western medicine is not able to. I wish to express my appreciation and gratitude to Dr. Huang for all that he has done for me and for the difference he has made to my daily life. Thank you for all the hard work that he has put in treating me and thank you for a job well done. I pray that my present condition will remain but at the same time am comforted to know where I can seek treatment should my problem returns. Thank you again and stay blessed. 感 恩。 "When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn." - Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Would have given NO star if possible because it was my worst TCM experience ever. Felt totally scammed. The physician has very bad communication and inter-personal skills. He did not explain the cause of my swollen knee, did some very very small touches and movement. No improvement felt at all. He claimed that I should have felt better but when I told him that I do not feel any improvement at all, he said it is not true...how would he know? It was like not being treated at all and he charged me S$100 for nothing. Will not recommend this to anyone.

I was looking for Physician Huang to address my shoulder and arch pain. Out of expectation, besides the treatment of above two, he named my swollen ankle on the spot and pointed out my long lasting stomach pain during the treatment. (I had no idea that soft bone setting could solve internal medicine problem, so I did not mention it at all...) Surprisingly, he was able to address all these deep rooted problems which lasted for more than 10 years within 2-3 sessions. Differ from other bone setting treatments (as a desperated patient, I did tried a lot Tcm and Western treatments before I visited him), the recovery of my body was continuing after the treatment ( in about 1 week) and the problems never come back again now. And I m so happy to have these much slimmer ankles for my beautiful dresses and new shoes:). Recommend this gentle and magic treatment for all!
