Meet Dr. Ning Xu
Classical Balance · Modern Anatomy
Dr. Ning Xu is a highly skilled and dedicated registered acupuncturist with extensive clinical experience specialising in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. He excels in pain relief and therapy — combining Dr. Tan’s Traditional Chinese Balance Acupuncture theory with Myofascial Release (MFR) theory from modern anatomy. This innovative integration achieves immediate and effective results in alleviating pain and addressing a wide variety of conditions.
In 2024, Dr. Xu further enhanced his expertise by completing advanced training in Dr. Jiao’s scalp acupuncture techniques. This approach has proven highly effective in treating central nervous system disorders — including stroke rehabilitation, hemiplegia, autism, and speech disorders such as Broca’s and Wernicke’s aphasia.
Patients consistently praise Dr. Xu for his warm, compassionate approach and his commitment to their well-being. He takes the time to listen to their concerns, conduct thorough assessments, and create personalised treatment plans tailored to their needs. Beyond his clinical practice, Dr. Xu is an active advocate for Traditional Chinese Medicine within the community — frequently delivering workshops on nutrition, diet therapy, and maintaining a balanced lifestyle to promote wellness and preventive care.
