Neck and back pain are very common reasons for health care visits, affecting millions worldwide. To address such conditions, tuoca therapy from Dai medicine is a natural, non-invasive treatment. It uses a cloth bag filled with specially prepared herbal powder, steamed until warm, and then gently dragged (tuo) and pressed (ca) along the body's muscle and meridian pathways over affected areas to relieve pain.

Patients trust tuoca therapy not only for its quick pain relief, but also for its gentle, non-invasive nature. Each session takes only 15 minutes. There are no needles or oral medication, leaving the body relaxed and comfortable.  

Tuoca therapy should be administered by a trained practitioner after proper diagnosis. It is not recommended for pregnant women, people with skin ulcers, or those allergic to herbal ingredients.
