Attending a superior university can translate into a higher quality practitioner. Dr. Gu’s education reflects the highest standards available in China. His education featured extensive training in both Western and Chinese medicine.

Dr. Gu’s particular usage of his fine education favors the integration of the best of Western orthopedics and the profound pain control benefits of acupuncture treatments.

While acupuncture is the most famous and interesting Chinese treatment that we think of in the West, Dr. Gu actually favors the use of another uniquely Chinese massage therapy called “Tui Na”. Tui Na literally translates to “pushing and squeezing”. In a word, “massage”. Most of the orthopedic patients that Dr. Gu sees will receive some sort of Tui Na as part of their treatment.
