Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the oldest, continually practiced medicine in the world. It is an ancient profession which works to restore balance and harmony to one's entire organism. Our body hosts many pairs of balanced energies (yin/yang) which help determine our condition of health. When these systems are in balance, we are healthy and vibrant. When they are not; we are not.

TCM is a whole body/mind therapy. The World Health Organization recognizes the effectiveness of acupuncture in over 104 common disorders (see list).

Traditional Chinese Medicine is safe, effective and virtually without side effects. It can be used to treat both acute and chronic conditions, as well as, to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Treatment modalities in TCM may include: Diet, Nutrition & Herbal therapies; Acupuncture; Qi Gong; Massage (TuiNa, acupressure, Shiatsu); Auricular Therapy; Heat therapy and more. Practitioners trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine offer varied treatment options based upon each individual's case."
