What are acupuncture needles like?
Acupuncture needles are very thin, and rarely cause any discomfort. The needles used at Daniel Adler Clinic are made of stainless steel, and are single-use/disposable.
-
Are you able to help me if I’m in the “red” pain zone?
Yes. In fact, most of my clients seek treatment when they are in the “red zone”. This happens either when a problem has just occurred or they have been living with and enduring it until it has become overwhelmingly difficult.
Ideally, however, when there is a specific problem you should book treatment when you are in the “early orange zone”. This will make it easier to return to the green zone.

-
Where can I park during my treatment?
There is street parking along Dupont St, as well as on Shaw St (perpendicular to Dupont) and also Melville Ave (just south of Dupont).
You can find a map on the Clinic Location page.
-
Will I be prescribed more than one herbal remedy?
In general I prefer to only prescribe a single formula. In that way I can know exactly what has been taken into your body and can understand what to expect.
However, If your situation is complicated or you have numerous complaints, I may choose to prescribe more than one formula. For example, one formula for your basic underlying constitution and another formula to address your presenting symptoms.
-
Do I have to go to a store to pick up my herbs?
No. Once a formula is determined, your granulated herbs will arrive by mail, typically within 3-5 days of your consultation.
-
Can herbal medicine help with my menstruation issues?
Yes! When working with women with menstrual concerns, fertility, and other gynaecological issues, it is not uncommon to prescribe three or four formulas to be taken at different stages of your cycle.
