Proven effective over thousands of years, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) supports health, vitality, balance, longevity, and relieves physical pain and stress. Even though TCM and Western medicine are different, they can also be complementary.

Acupuncture and Chinese herbology, methods of treatment within TCM, are ancient approaches that TCM practitioners use to address a wide range of today’s health concerns. It is likely that more people have been treated by these modes of TCM throughout history than by any other formalized system of medicine. The TCM model of practice is based on natural laws describing the movement of energy in nature and the body; a life force call Qi. Qi courses through the body in channels or “meridians” similar to rivers that run through the earth. When the Qi of the body is full and moving freely, health is promoted. When it is not, illness presents. Everyday emotional stresses like deadlines and disappointments, as well as physical stresses from sources such as air pollution, pesticides, and other toxins, can disrupt the harmonious movement of energy. Compounded over time, such stresses can lead to illness. If an underlying imbalance is not corrected, more serious problems may develop.
