Services

From pain relief to preventative care,

I am here to help you feel your healthiest and most balanced every day.

Holistic Diagnosis & Personalised Treatment

I take the time to understand your complete health picture—not only your physical symptoms, but also your medical history, daily lifestyle, emotional wellbeing, and the subtle imbalances that may be contributing to your condition. Using a combination of time-honoured diagnostic methods from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), such as pulse and tongue analysis, alongside modern energy-based assessments, I am able to gain a deep and holistic understanding of your health. This comprehensive evaluation forms the foundation for a personalised treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs. Depending on what is most appropriate for your energetic profile and current state, your treatment may include acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, or tui-na. Each modality is selected with care, aiming not only to alleviate immediate discomfort but also to address root causes, rebalance your internal systems, and promote long-term resilience and vitality. My approach is integrative, compassionate, and focused on helping you return to a state of harmony and true wellbeing.

Pain Relief & Pain Management

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), pain is understood as a disruption in the natural flow of Qi (vital energy) and Blood through the body’s meridians and organ systems. Instead of merely suppressing symptoms, TCM aims to identify and treat the root cause of pain by addressing underlying energetic imbalances. Pain is generally classified into five categories—musculoskeletal, neurological, gynaecological, visceral, and psychosomatic—each linked to specific syndromes and treatment approaches. Common patterns include Excess conditions such as Qi stagnation, Blood stasis, Cold, Dampness, or Wind, as well as Deficiency patterns involving depleted Qi, Blood, Yin, or Yang. Chronic pain often indicates deeper, long-standing deficiencies that require comprehensive care. Treatment is always tailored to the individual and may include acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, cupping therapy, moxibustion, gua sha, and lifestyle or dietary changes. These therapies work together to rebalance the body, relieve discomfort, and restore health and vitality, offering an integrative and long-term solution to pain management.

Women’s Health & Hormonal Balance

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers centuries of clinical insight in supporting women’s health by restoring internal balance, regulating the flow of Qi and Blood, and harmonising the Chong, Ren, and Liver channels—vital pathways in female reproductive function. TCM is particularly effective in treating a wide range of concerns, including menstrual disorders, fertility challenges, pregnancy and postpartum recovery, menopausal symptoms, hormonal and structural imbalances such as endometriosis, fibroids, and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), as well as infections, discharges, and emotionally rooted or psychosomatic patterns. These conditions are understood not in isolation but as reflections of deeper systemic disharmonies. Whether you are managing your menstrual cycle, preparing for conception, moving through pregnancy, or transitioning through menopause, TCM offers a comprehensive and individualised approach to care. Treatments may include acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, moxibustion, dietary therapy, and lifestyle guidance, each selected according to your unique pattern of imbalance. The goal is not only symptom relief, but long-term vitality, balance, and emotional wellbeing

Your wellbeing is my top priority

I believe that every person deserves to feel heard, supported, and treated with care that honours their whole being. At my practice, I offer acupuncture, herbal medicines, cupping, moxibustion, Tui Na (Chinese Medical Massage, Gua Sha (scraping) and other holistic therapies to help you heal gently and deeply, physically, emotionally, and energetically.



Whether you are navigating chronic symptoms, emotional stress, hormonal shifts, or just want to feel more balanced in your everyday life, I am here to walk that journey with you.

Many Happy Patients

Don't take my word for it.  See what some of my many happy patients have to say

A Swanepoel

Ek is omtrent 3 jaar lank ‘n pasiënt van Dr Bapoo. Hy gee baie om vir sy pasiënte. Jy kan hom dag of nag pla en hy is altyd bereid om te help. Nadat ek al so veel dokters en spesialite gesien oor erg pyn in my tong, het Dr Bapoo my gehelp. Hy is ‘n eerlike, op[reg en vriendelike persoon wat jou gemaklik lat voel om oor jou probleme met hom te praat. Hy het ook my gestremde seun behandel en my seun dink die wereld van Dr Bapoo.

C Romi

I was refrred to Dr Bapoo by a friend, after my son was diagnosed with a brain tumour and his healtyh detriorated badly. Dr Bapoo was very positive and tried to help my son with Chinese medicine to reduce the size of the tumour, anxiety and fear.  He also treated me with acupouncture for my headaches and stress. Dr Bapoo is a very caring and positive person who tries to assist whereevr possible. I would definitely recoimmend him as a doctor. His knowledge, expertise, positive and helpful approach definitely helps patients when other doctors say there is “no hope”. By encouraging patients to stay positive, he helps pave the road to recovery no matter what the diagnosis. My son eventually had surgery after his tumour was small enough to be removed. I do believe that it was Dr Bapoo’s positive attitude, faith and expertise in Chines Medicine that made my son’s body strong enough to survive the very high risk surgicl procedure.

A Lopez

My entire family are patients of Dr Bapoo.  He is very knowledgeable and always willing to share his knowledge with anyone. He takes time to carefully explain a patient’s medical condition to them and ensures that they understand what is wrong and how he intends fixing it. He has a vast understanding of the human body and a deep understanding of his field of medicine.  Whatever treatment and medicines he has provided has always helped my family.

D Asbury

I became a patient of Dr Bapoo approximately two years ago when I was suffering from several ailments including depression. Dr Bapoo helped me to improve my health both mentally and physically. During the time I have known Dr Bapoo, I have found him to be knowledgeable, compassionate, honest and firm when he needs to be. He is thorough and has a great deal of patience, especially when dealing with those of us who are high strung and very neurotic. He is generous with his time and I doubt that you will find a more caring doctor.

S Lowton

As a doctor, he is very good and compassionate and helps all his patients. You can discuss anything with him and come out feeling good.

S Zanetti

I met Dr Bapoo about 10 years ago as a Chinese medicine practitioner. He could solve for me and my family conditions that western medicine either couldn’t solve or, in some cases, not even diagnose. Dr Bapoo’s full spectrum of skills, personality and culture make him the incredible person that he is.

M Mabena

Dr Bapoo has been my doctor since I was 8 years old.  I am now 32 years old. I have had had many health challenges over the years and Dr Bapoo has always been able to resolve them.  At times I was a patient who would be carried into his rooms almost at death’s door and he will have me back on my feet in short time.  Though his therapies my health has been greatly improved and I could not have asked for a better doctor.

M Govender

I have been a patient of Dr Bapoo for well over a decade now. At the time I first started seeing Dr Bapoo I had already received years of ineffective medical treatments for my various medical conditions. From my very first appointment, Dr bapoo used his extensive knowledge and experience to provide effective relief of my ailments and even succeeded in completely eliminating my skin condition, which other doctors said I would have to live with lifelong.  I recommend Dr Bapoo as a kind, considerate and extremely knowledgeable person who is dedicated to improving the health and overall quality of life of his patients.

K Beharie

Me and my immediate family have been patients of Dr Bapoo for a number of years now. I have absolute confidenece in his knowledge and skill as a practitioner of Chinese Medicine andacupuncture.  It is always a pleasure to visit his rooms as he is very thorough in what he does.  My husband’s back pain was relieved after only one acupuncture session. My daughter who suffered terribly from PTSD, could focus on, and complete her studies after being treated by Dr Bapoo. We shall continue seeing him as patients.

J Jacobs

Ek vind Dr Bapoo ‘n baie goeie dokter. Hy is vriendelik, opreg en eerlik. Dr Bapoo gee ook baie om vir sy pasiënte en is altyd daar as jy hom nodig het.

T Mavundla

Dr Bapoo has been a doctor to my family for quite a while.  He surely knows how to deal with health issues that face his patients. He is a helpful and kind doctor and always willing to go the extra mile for his patients. I was faced with a situation where many doctors said that I needed an operation, but Dr Bapoo treated me and I improved. He is a great doctor indeed.

S Lamarre

Dr Bapoo is not only knowledgeable and experienced, he is very calm and affable. With acupuncture, he has helped me with medication free pain management after shoulder replacement surgery. Also surprisingly, a wonderful side effect to his treatment, I have no more chronic swelling in my ankle. After a serious sprain, more than two decades ago, my ankle had always been swollen bigger than a tennis ball, and after one treatment for my shoulder, I discovered there can be relief of this chronic ankle swelling. I have pain free movement in my shoulder and two matching unswollen ankles. Thank you Dr Bapoo.

F Smith

I have been a patient of Dr Bapoo for the past 2 years. Dr Bapoo’s treatments have been very effective in providing relief for my peripheral neuropathy.  During my time in Dr Bapoo’s care, I have found him to be a very caring, generous, kind and compassionate person, providing support and sound advice at all times. He has also provided guidance and care to my immediate family with very positive results.

F Laher

After going to so many health practitioners and i felt the same. I started going to Dr Bapoo for acupuncture and I feel so much better. Highly recommend it.

L Willemse

Very good experience will continue with him.

L Mabogoane

Dr Ishendra Bapoo the best, i was so sick and at clinic and hospital they didn't know what was wrong with, but Dr Bapoo helped me. What I like about him is his love for his work and patience. Keep up the good work Doctor. I will really recommend him to anyone who really wants help.

.

A Mbonani

My 1st session with Dr Ishendra Bapoo was incredible. He explained the medical process in detail and showed me exactly how everything fits together. He is knowledgeable and very efficient. I had the best experience and can't wait for my next session.

.

FD Mkhatshwa

My 1st session with Dr Ishendra Bapoo the most reassuring and the most well explained medical process showing the patient how everything fits in together towards ensuring your health not only improves but you get better, the most comprehensive medical consultation I have ever attended. I sleep and breathe better, night sweats gone, nasal blockades and random unexplained tiredness greatly reduced, almost forgot I came limping but left walking freely. Basically the benefits of the consultation far outweighs what I can explain in a typed sentence. I will be going back soon for my follow up session, I will certainly be recommending Dr Ishendra Bapoo to everyone that wants their health to be good...

E Lotter

 

Dr Bapoo is professional, caring and extremely knowledgable. He took great care to explain everything in detail and did a thorough analysis. The treatment was not rushed and very effective. A highly recommended experience!

.

F Adediran

 

Dr Bapoo is very good and attentive. He cares about his patients alot. After the first sessions I saw lots of improvement. I will recommend Dr Bapoo for those seeking alternatives treatment for their ailments.

W Ndou

 

Thank you Dr Bapoo now I sleep much better. My body is functioning so much better after only one session, today I am back for more.

M Moodie

I will never go to a normal Doctor ever again. Struggled with nerve damage since near fatal accident in 2018. Everyone said I needed operations on my hip, shoulder and arm. I used to live with chronic pain, after 2 sessions with Dr Bapoo I have not needed 1 pain pill. After 5 sessions I have gained so much more use of my damaged arm and the numbness in my feet is just about gone. Just from acupuncture. Dr Bapoo is also treating my daughter with Chinese herbal medicine and after 2 days on these meds we could see and she could feel a difference in her concentration and her anxiety levels are much improved. She has not had a panic attack in a week. That is incredible. Dr Bapoo is my miracle man, I am so grateful that I contacted him. Thank you Doctor for giving us a new lease on life.

A Lopez

Dr Bapoo is amazing. His knowledge of Chinese Medicine is vast. He takes the time to listen and is very attentive and gentle. He doesn't get irritated if you ask questions and does his best to explain in a way that you can understand. I definitely recommend Dr Bapoo, especially if you have been struggling with something for quite some time and conventional Docters can't help or don't know what's wrong. Well worth checking out.

Frequently asked questions

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a comprehensive healing system developed over thousands of years. It includes acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, and lifestyle guidance. TCM focuses on restoring balance in the body by addressing the root cause of illness, not just the symptoms.

Acupuncture is used to treat a wide range of conditions including chronic pain, headaches, migraines, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, and fertility challenges. It also supports general wellness, immune health, and emotional balance.

Most patients experience very little discomfort. The needles used are hair-thin and sterile. Some people feel a mild tingling or heaviness, while others feel relaxed or even sleepy during treatment. The process is typically very gentle.

This depends on your condition and its severity. Acute issues may resolve in a few sessions, while chronic or complex cases may require a longer course. During your consultation, I will create a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

Your first visit includes a detailed consultation where I review your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and emotional well-being. I also perform tongue and pulse diagnosis, and where appropriate, I may use diagnostic tools like the QMR918 or Meridian Health Detection Expert. Treatment will begin in the same session. This visit will take approximately 2 hours to complete.

These are modern, non-invasive diagnostic tools used to assess energetic imbalances in your body. The QMR918 uses quantum bioresonance to detect subtle deficiencies or organ stress, while the Meridian Health Detection Expert evaluates the flow of energy through your acupuncture meridians. Both complement traditional diagnostics to improve accuracy and early detection.

No. Acupuncture works regardless of belief. Its effects are physiological, not psychological. It stimulates your body’s own healing mechanisms—such as improving blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and calming the nervous system

Yes, when prescribed by a qualified practitioner. I only use high-quality, professional-grade herbal formulas tailored to your condition. Herbal therapy is safe and effective when used correctly, and I always check for any possible interactions with your existing medications.

Absolutely. I support natural conception and also work alongside assisted reproductive technologies (like IVF and IUI). Treatment includes regulating cycles, supporting ovulation, improving endometrial health, and addressing hormonal or stress-related block
