Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) restores the flow of energy and balances the organ systems. Our doctors and practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine can help you heal musculo-skeletal and systemic disease by first assessing your individual needs and then providing you with a blend of acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion and Tui Na massage. Additionally, herbal medicine may be prescribed.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the gentle insertion of disposable pre-sterilized needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the flow of Qi. Acupuncture promotes the body's natural healing energy and improves functioning of the muscles and organs. Acupuncture treatments help the body's internal organs to correct imbalances in the digestion, absorption, and energy production activities and in the circulation of energy through the meridians.
Cupping
Glass or bamboo cups are suctioned to the body to draw out toxins and prevent blood and chi stagnation.
Tui Na Massage
Ancient Chinese Massage stimulates the flow of Qi releasing energy along the meridians.
Moxibustion
After the needles are inserted burning moxa is circled around the needles to send heat deep into the muscles.
Herbal Medicine
Ancient herbal medicine is prescribed to address an array of internal and systemic disorders such as digestive disorders, insomnia, fatigue, muscle cramps, menstrual problems, anxiety and depression.
