You've been called lazy or "not living up to your potential."
You lose track of time, keys, words, and why you walked into the room.

Why choose Magic Needle acupuncture clinic?
Excellent Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor/Accupunturist.Helped me with many health problems with accupuncture and advice on Chinese Herbal Medicine. Very flexible and professional service. Highly recommend Dr.Fu-Chin-De services
First google post and review ever… I met Sergey through a coworker after facing so many dead ends and closed doors through our health care system. He has been my saving grace. He calmly listens to your health issues with the outmost focus on wanting to help you. Doctors kept turning me away telling me I was young and fine and I lived everyday in pain. The first time I got seen by him, he assessed me and based on my symptoms, he knew right away it was my liver and heart. I come from a family of liver issues, father and grandfather died of liver disease so this was scary and at the same time relieving as I was finally getting an answer and he assured me that I would be fine after acupuncture treatment and he was right. He has since helped me with various health issues that were affecting my everyday life. Currently helping me with a severe adverse reaction from antibiotics and the only solution given by the hospital was more antibiotics. He has also helped my husband and my son. All treatments have been successful and I am so thankful for him. The absolute best Acupuncturist and health advisor out there.
Sergey Is a fantastic and professional acupuncturist. I had four session with him and have not felt more relaxed in years. I had pain in my shoulders, lower back and had leg cramps for long time, but after my sessions I didn’t feel any pain and I don't have any leg cramps. I would highly recommend his services.
I know have been going to this place since 2015. I had season allergy, skin rush, weird red pimples all over the body. Every time I came to the doctor, he helped me in a couple of sessions, unlike all the doctors from walk-on clinics. I highly recommend this place!
Sergey is very knowledgeable and highly professional specialists. He is definitely saved my daughter's hearing 10 years ago.She got very complicated case of otitis that transformed to mastoiditis .We have nothing to lose and decided to try chinese medicine after couple month of the treatment our surgery in Sick Kids was canceled. My daughter was completely healthy. After 4 years of different medication (antibiotics,steroids and tube surgery) we found the one who helped us.Thank you Sergey!Also I can recommend you Sergey if you have any back or neck issues.

Excellent doctor. My father had kidney stones and a sever pain. The pain went away after Accupunture sessions and the stones were dissolved as well. The doctor also brewed some herbs for my dad that helped with the problem.
Sergey is a great TCM doctor. When conventional medicine cannot tell what's wrong with you or your lived ones, Sergey always gives the correct diagnosis and the precise treatment. He treats what the western medicine cannot even diagnose. I feel very relaxed knowing that Sergey's acupuncture services are nearby. I highly recommend him as a very caring and result oriented Chinese doctor. Go to Sergey if you do not feel good and you will feel much better after his treatment.
I got very good treatment for my back pain in “Magic Needle” l couldn’t get rid of for a while. I had previously visited a chiropractor, but to no avail, I felt relief after the first acupuncture session. I highly recommend “Magic Needle”.
I fell down on my thumb and couldn't use is for a few week so looked for acupuncturist. Highly recommend Magic needle. After getting 3 treatments, my thumb is back to normal.

One of my friend suggested to try acupuncture at "Magic Needle", to be honest I was sceptical at first but after 10 sessions the pain was completely gone! I was free from back pain for a year, then took 10 sessions again, it has been for a couple of years now that I don't have such bad back problems. I'm very thankful to Sergei for his knowledge and skills.
I had a pinched nerve and the pain was shooting down my arm. Dr Fuchinde with acupuncture relieved the pain. He was very patient and gave exercises to do. The care vas very good.
Amazing place! Doctor was quiet, friendly and kind. There was absolutely no fuss or exaggeration about the treatment. He was professional, simple, and straightforward. I have been to acupuncture clinics that charge you a lot more for similar treatment! I was super happy that I found this place and decided to come. After a few sessions I was totally pain free.
Dr.Sergei Fuchinde is very attentive and professional. He has helped me to aid my twisted ankle in 5 sessions. The difference in my ability to move was already evident from the second session. I highly recommend him!
Real magic. My mom had unbearable back pain for about two weeks. She tried everything. She came to Magic Needle she could hardly move. Pain was gone after 5 sessions. She did 10 sessions total the pain did not come back for 10 years. My experience was even more impressive. I had very painful hard bump on my feet.

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body, using very thin needles. Acupoints are located along pathways, called meridians, which are believed to conduct energy (qi) throughout the body.
By inserting needles an acupuncturist can help to regulate the flow of qi and blood, as well as stimulate the body's natural healing processes. This can trigger the release of the body's natural painkillers - endorphins, and other neurotransmitters that help to reduce pain and inflammation and promote overall well-being.
It is also thought to influence the autonomic nervous system, which regulates things like heart rate, digestion, and immune response.
By modulating the activity of the nervous system, acupuncture can help restore balance in the body and address a wide range of health issues.

A comprehensive assessment of your health and well-being, typically consisting of:
- Health history: I will ask you detailed questions about your medical history, including any past illnesses, surgeries, medications, and lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, sleep patterns, and stress levels.
- Physical examination: I may conduct a physical examination, which may include observing your tongue, feeling your pulse, and touching certain areas of your body to assess tenderness, pain, or other signs of imbalance.
- Diagnosis: Based on the above information I will make a diagnosis according to TCM principles, which involve identifying patterns of imbalance in your body's energy (qi), blood, yin and yang, and the functioning of your organs.
- Treatment plan: After making a diagnosis, I will make a treatment plan tailored to your specific health needs and goals. This may include a combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary and lifestyle recommendations.
- Education and guidance: I will explain the proposed treatment plan, including the rationale behind each recommendation and what you can expect during the course of treatment.
Chinese herbs are safe when used appropriately and under the guidance of a qualified TCM practitioner.
- Herbs should be prescribed based on the patient's specific constitution, health condition, and other factors. It's crucial to disclose all medications and health concerns to your practitioner before starting herbal treatment, since some herbs may interact with medications or worsen certain health conditions.
- Herbs should be sourced from reputable suppliers to ensure their quality and authenticity.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult with a healthcare professional before using Chinese herbs, as some herbs may not be suitable during pregnancy or lactation.
Generally, it is safe but since it is all individual, some side effects may occur:
- Mild soreness, bruising, or pinprick bleeding at the spot where the needle was inserted, but these are temporary and usually resolve quickly.
- Fatigue: some may feel tired after an acupuncture treatment, but this is rather rare.
- Temporary worsening of symptoms: some may experience a temporary worsening of their symptoms after an acupuncture treatment before they improve. This is referred to as a “healing crisis” and it is considered normal in TCM and part of the healing process as your body adjusts to the treatment. May also occur after physiotherapy, massage, and chiropractic treatment.
It depends on various factors, including the state of the issue, the individual's response to treatment, and overall health.

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body, using very thin needles. Acupoints are located along pathways, called meridians, which are believed to conduct energy (qi) throughout the body.
By inserting needles an acupuncturist can help to regulate the flow of qi and blood, as well as stimulate the body's natural healing processes. This can trigger the release of the body's natural painkillers - endorphins, and other neurotransmitters that help to reduce pain and inflammation and promote overall well-being.
It is also thought to influence the autonomic nervous system, which regulates things like heart rate, digestion, and immune response.
By modulating the activity of the nervous system, acupuncture can help restore balance in the body and address a wide range of health issues.

A comprehensive assessment of your health and well-being, typically consisting of:
- Health history: I will ask you detailed questions about your medical history, including any past illnesses, surgeries, medications, and lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, sleep patterns, and stress levels.
- Physical examination: I may conduct a physical examination, which may include observing your tongue, feeling your pulse, and touching certain areas of your body to assess tenderness, pain, or other signs of imbalance.
- Diagnosis: Based on the above information I will make a diagnosis according to TCM principles, which involve identifying patterns of imbalance in your body's energy (qi), blood, yin and yang, and the functioning of your organs.
- Treatment plan: After making a diagnosis, I will make a treatment plan tailored to your specific health needs and goals. This may include a combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary and lifestyle recommendations.
- Education and guidance: I will explain the proposed treatment plan, including the rationale behind each recommendation and what you can expect during the course of treatment.
Chinese herbs are safe when used appropriately and under the guidance of a qualified TCM practitioner.
- Herbs should be prescribed based on the patient's specific constitution, health condition, and other factors. It's crucial to disclose all medications and health concerns to your practitioner before starting herbal treatment, since some herbs may interact with medications or worsen certain health conditions.
- Herbs should be sourced from reputable suppliers to ensure their quality and authenticity.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult with a healthcare professional before using Chinese herbs, as some herbs may not be suitable during pregnancy or lactation.
Generally, it is safe but since it is all individual, some side effects may occur:
- Mild soreness, bruising, or pinprick bleeding at the spot where the needle was inserted, but these are temporary and usually resolve quickly.
- Fatigue: some may feel tired after an acupuncture treatment, but this is rather rare.
- Temporary worsening of symptoms: some may experience a temporary worsening of their symptoms after an acupuncture treatment before they improve. This is referred to as a “healing crisis” and it is considered normal in TCM and part of the healing process as your body adjusts to the treatment. May also occur after physiotherapy, massage, and chiropractic treatment.
It depends on various factors, including the state of the issue, the individual's response to treatment, and overall health.
