About Shangyitang

Diagnosis comes first, compassion is fundamental.

SYT Wellness, founded in 2016 by registered Chinese medicine practitioner Zhang Yong, is a Hong Kong-based Chinese medicine pain management clinic with clinics in Wan Chai and Jordan . Our name is derived from the ancient Chinese medical text *Qianjin Fang*, which emphasizes the principle of "superior doctors treat illness before it manifests," reflecting our commitment to prevention and providing the highest standard of Chinese medicine care to every patient.

We adhere to the core principle of "diagnosis first, treatment later ." Before any treatment, our medical team will use the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine—inspection, auscultation and olfaction, inquiry, and palpation—along with our unique palpation techniques to carefully assess subtle changes in your body's structure. If necessary, we will also refer to modern imaging reports such as X-rays and MRI scans to ensure an accurate diagnosis before developing the most suitable personalized treatment plan for you.

Our treatment system integrates the regional characteristics of Lingnan medicine , the combined medical and martial arts techniques of Foshan bone setting , and the essence of spinal treatment from Professor Long Chenghua, a national treasure-level TCM doctor. It is specifically designed for the hot and humid climate of Hong Kong and common health problems among urban dwellers. The treatment scope covers six major therapies: acupuncture, bone setting and trauma treatment, massage, cupping, Chinese herbal medicine, and external medicated plasters, forming a complete system for addressing the root cause of health issues.

Shang Yi Tang has always prioritized compassion, skill, and patient care. Our electronic medical record database has accumulated over 100,000 cases and has received extensive media coverage and recommendations over the years, making it a highly trusted TCM treatment brand in Hong Kong.

Six major therapies – a comprehensive system for treating the root cause

Shangyitang combines six traditional Chinese medicine therapies, flexibly tailored to each patient's condition to achieve a holistic treatment that addresses both the symptoms and the root cause. Click to learn more about each therapy:

Acupuncture treatment

This treatment uses acupuncture needles to stimulate acupoints throughout the body, unblocking meridians and harmonizing Qi and blood. It can provide immediate pain relief for pain syndromes and also has significant therapeutic effects on internal medicine issues such as insomnia, headaches, and nasal allergies. The physicians at Shangyitang are proficient in traditional meridian point selection and Lingnan-style acupuncture techniques.

Bone setting and trauma treatment

This treatment combines the strength of Foshan Wing Chun bridge hand techniques with Long's spinal manipulation methods to safely and precisely treat spinal and joint misalignments. It is suitable for bone and joint injuries such as cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, and joint displacement, and provides immediate improvement in range of motion.

Push -massage technique

Using techniques such as pushing, grasping, pressing, and rubbing on muscles, fascia, and acupoints, it promotes local blood circulation and loosens soft tissue adhesions. It effectively relieves muscle tension, chronic strain, and post-exercise fatigue.

Cupping therapy

It uses negative pressure to adhere to the skin surface, promoting deep blood circulation and expelling dampness and blood stasis from the body. It is especially suitable for symptoms such as muscle aches, fatigue, and the early stages of a cold caused by Hong Kong's hot and humid climate.

Traditional Chinese medicine conditioning

Based on syndrome differentiation and treatment principles, personalized Chinese herbal prescriptions are formulated to regulate the functions of the internal organs from within. These prescriptions are suitable for internal medicine conditions such as eczema, menstrual irregularities, insomnia, and indigestion, and can be used in conjunction with external therapies to accelerate pain relief.

Apply external medicated patch

Shangyitang's self-prepared external medicated patches deliver their medicinal power directly to the affected area, continuously reducing swelling and pain, and promoting blood circulation. When used in conjunction with acupuncture and bone-setting treatments, they prolong the treatment effect and accelerate the recovery process.

Treatment philosophy

Four major treatment features

The key difference between Shang Yi Tang and ordinary Chinese medicine clinics lies in the following four treatment features, which are designed specifically to address the health problems of urban residents in Hong Kong.

Lingnan medicine as the foundation

Based on Lingnan medicine, it focuses on treating various pain, dampness and internal medicine problems caused by Hong Kong's hot and humid climate, making the treatment more suitable for the local people's constitution.

Medicine and martial arts

The exquisite bridge hand techniques of Foshan Wing Chun are incorporated into the Long Family Bone Setting and Repositioning Technique, making the technique safe, precise, and effective in addressing bone and tendon misalignments.

Unique palpation

Physicians use palpation to determine the location and extent of pain, check for abnormalities in bony landmarks, accurately locate the source of pain, and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Strict inheritance

All attending physicians must undergo rigorous internal training and assessment to master diagnostic techniques, acupuncture, bone setting, and palpation skills, ensuring professional standards.

Medical Team

Professional Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner

All physicians are registered Chinese medicine practitioners with the Hong Kong Chinese Medicine Council, possessing extensive clinical experience and rigorous professional training.
