My name is Dr Rida Wang. I am a Naturopathic Physician and Registered Acupuncturist in Vancouver, BC. I am a single working mom blessed with two young boys who remind me every day of the basic needs we all need to live healthy vibrant lives-health, love and laughter.
I have enjoyed being in practice for over 15years and feel very fortunate to work in a field that I am passionate about and am truly grateful to the thousands of patients that have trusted me with their health.
I believe in finding the root cause of my patient’s dis-ease, educating my patients, treating the cause, and supporting my patients on their ongoing journey of health and well-being.
Health is so much more than the absence of disease. Find out how amazing you can feel!

Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic Medicine is based on the principles that the body has the ability to heal itself when the obstacles to cure are removed. Diet, supplements (vitamins, minerals, herbs), counselling and lab tests are among the tools used to help treat the underlying cause of the dis-ease in an individualized treatment plan for each patient.
Chinese Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine has been used for over 4000 years to treat ailments from the common cold, digestive issues, headaches, insomnia, musculoskeletal sprains and strains. Each herb is carefully selected and balanced by the other herbs in the formula to minimize any potential side effects while working harmoniously to treat a particular condition.
Cupping
Dating back to 300AD, cupping is the use of bamboo or glass cups to create a suction on the skin in areas of pain or stagnation of Qi and blood. The cups are used to move stagnant Qi and blood, resulting in improved circulation, relaxation of the local muscles and reduction of pain and tension. Moving cupping is particularly effective for muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, back, IT band, calves and tendonitis in the forearm muscles.
Acupuncture
The use on sterilized fine needles inserted into specific Acupuncture points to treat imbalances of Qi (energy), blood, yin, yang in the body. Acupuncture is used to treat everything from pain, sprains, strains, headaches, insomnia, stress, anxiety, digestion, fatigue, PMS, irregular periods, fertility.
