Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is based on the philosophical concept that the universe is made of an energy called qi. This energy can be any state of matter or energy in existence. TCM believes that the body is a small universe unto itself that is a complex of subsystems of energy and matter, and that these systems work together to maintain a healthy mind and body. The characteristics of the operation of the mind/body are described in terms of the five elements (metal, water, wood, fire, and earth), Yin/Yang organs, deficiency/excess, emptiness/fullness, hot/cold, wind, dampness, pathogens, internal/external, meridian channels, qi (several different types), essences, body fluids, vessels and more.

Arthritis, depression, memory loss, muscle and joint stiffness, pain, heart problems, diabetes, insomnia, bladder and kidney problems can be debilitating but there have been numerous studies undertaken showing the positive results that can be achieved through acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. Just small improvements can impact on the quality of life.

TCM Treatment includes:

  • Acupuncture

    Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used systems of healing in the world. Acupuncture is believed to keep the balance between yin and yang, thus allowing for the normal flow of qi throughout the body and restoring health to the mind and body.

  • Herbal Medicine

    The most fundamental method of TCM treatment, herbal medicine is dispensed to patients in formulas based on their unique constitutions and current medical conditions.

  • Tui Na Massage

    Tui Na is a hands-on body treatment that uses Chinese Taoist and martial arts principles to bring the body to balance.

  • Gua Sha Spooning

    Gua Sha is typically performed by rubbing a smooth-edged instrument across the skin surface where a subcutaneous injury or imbalance resides.

  • Cupping

    The vacuum suction created by heat stimulates blood circulation and improves the flow of chi.

  • Moxibustion

    Moxibustion also works in parallel with acupuncture therapy to treat and prevent disease when heat is applied to selected pressure points as to stimulate the flow of Qi.
