What is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)?
Traditional Chinese Medicine has been practiced for thousands of years and has been proven to be effective in the treatment of many conditions.
A full TCM assessment involves a clinical intake and physical examination. Treatment may include herbal supplements, cupping therapy, dietary recommendations, and acupuncture.
What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the main therapeutic technique used in TCM. Specific points on the body are stimulated by inserting thin needles through the skin. Acupuncture works by promoting blood and energy flow throughout the area to remove obstructions, stimulate healing, and clear
symptoms. It can be used for acute or chronic conditions, and the amount of sessions needed differs based on the nature and duration of the condition. In many cases, TCM and acupuncture can be used as a complementary treatment to other therapies.
