Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a health care profession that focuses on balance, harmony, and healing of the internal body. It was developed based on clinical experiences accumulated for over 2000 years. TCM’s key principle encompasses the notion your body is an integrated whole. It is not about treating the symptoms of a disease, but the root cause. According to the theory, the human body consists of channels through which Qi (chi) flows. Qi is the vital life energy force that governs the body’s circulation, metabolism, transportation, cleansing, and healing. If this energy flow is disrupted, blockages will form, and pain or other illnesses will arise. The goal is to remove these blockages and nourish the body for optimal energy and blood flow to circulate smoothly and return the body into its natural balance.         

TCM utilizes many different treatment modalities: Acupuncture, Electro-Acupuncture, Cupping, Gua Sha, Tui Na, Nutritional Therapy, and Herbal Medicine.
