Chinese accupuncture or massage?

Hi,
Does anyone know if there are trained accupuncturists in Doha who can fix a sprained ankle? I hurt my feet about 3 weeks ago and is still in much pain. I've been using Chinese medicated oil to give it a good massage or two every other night, but it doesn't seem yet to help. Will appreciate if someone can suggest something ... No use going to the normal clinics for such ankle sprains.

Hello all ... just an update. Got back from an excellent session at the massage centre at Sheraton Hotel and despite its hefty price tag, I seriously think it might be the only place to get help on a sprained ankle or injured foot. All the masseurs are from China and are trained sufficiently in Chinese Medicine (at least in my opinion). They're the closest I can get to the ones back home in Singapore where we have a dime a dozen. My foot and ankle really do feel so much better after that one-hour rub with the medicated ointment.

Went to the one in Al Saad, Al Nasr yesterday - unfortunately it's only for men. In fact, I went online to check the Chinese massage/reflexology places in Doha. The only one I could find is the one in Sheraton that has real Chinese masseurs and accupuncturists but charges QR200 per hour - which is rather steep in my opinion. In case anyone is interested, the telephone no. is 4854058 - International Chinese Body Care Houses.

There is an accupuncture clinic in the Sheraton hotel. I do not have the number, but you can just call the hotel and they will forward you.
