Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a comprehensive medical system that originated in China thousands of years ago and continues to be practiced all over the world today. What is unique about TCM is that it looks at each person as a whole entity rather than a list of symptoms to fix. Through its comprehensive approach, TCM gets at the root of the problem instead of just treating symptoms. It is very common for a patient not only to see improvement in their initial complaint, but also see positive changes in other areas of their physical and mental well-being.
ACUPUNCTURE
The insertion of ultra fine, sterile, single-use needles placed in specific acupuncture points to assist rebalancing organ and biomedical disharmonies. Even those afraid of needles from past experiences with injections will be surprised at how painless this is. You may feel the initial prick as a mosquito bite, or might not feel it at all.
HERBAL THERAPY
A prescription of herbs that is specifically designed to address an individual’s symptoms and constitution. They may be dispensed in powders or pills.

CUPPING
A technique in which sterilized glass cups are heated to create a suction and then applied to the skin. Not only is it pain-free but many people find it very relaxing. It is used to increase circulation and release deep rooted lactic acid. It's great for athletes.
MOXIBUSTION
A technique that is used to stimulate acupuncture points. An herb called Chinese mugwort (Artemisia Argyi), commonly known as moxa, is heated over particular areas of the body giving a warming sensation. Moxibustion is commonly used to promote circulation and boost the immune system.
ELECTRICAL STIMULATION
A technique in which small alligator clips are placed on inserted acupuncture needles. A small 9-volt battery-operated machine is then turned on and micro-current stimulates the acupuncture point. E-stim reduces inflammation and releases endorphins. This is similar to the TENS unit (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) that physical therapists use.
QI GONG
Qigong therapy includes movement exercises to help decrease stress and improve wellness.
