ABOUT TCM AND WHAT WE TREAT
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) was originated over 4000 years ago in China and is now used all over the world. It treats both manifestations and roots of the diseases through a holistic perspective. TCM doctor provides a complete physical examination with subsequent examinations as needed. Acupuncture, moxibustion (a form of heat therapy), herbal therapy and Tui Na (Acupressure; muscle and fascia alignment therapy) are key components of TCM. Other modalities that may be used are dietary modifications, cupping, and Qi Gong.
In Traditional Chinese medicine, energy or life force called "Qi" flows through the body along 14 channels. When "Qi" is blocked, the flow of energy is impaired, which can result in pain and illness. Using acupuncture, moxibustion, herbs and other modalities reactivates organs' original functions and removes the blockage allowing "Qi" to flow and restore harmony between the body's mutual dependent forces of "Yin" and "Yang". Modern studies have found that acupuncture stimulates the body's natural protective and pain fighting systems. The immune system is boosted and pain-fighting endorphins and peptides are released during acupuncture. Traditional Chinese Medicine promotes the body's ability to heal itself, which is why it can treat a variety of diseases and conditions.
