A tradition refined for international guests

For many travelers, acupuncture and tuina are the most memorable part of a medical trip to China. Shanghai's TCM hospitals offer fully bilingual reception, private consultation rooms and treatment plans that begin with a tongue and pulse diagnosis — explained step by step through 10-language interpretation.

Rehab, sleep and chronic care

Beyond relaxation, TCM programs at MedBridge partner hospitals cover rehabilitation after injury, sleep improvement, and management of chronic conditions such as pain and fatigue. Physicians hold licensed TCM credentials, and treatment protocols are documented for you in your own language.
