Traditional Chinese Medicine

TCM is a practiced of natural medicine that has a history of over 4000 years. Then practice of TCM includes acupuncture, acupressure, Chinese herbal medicine, cupping, Tui Na, moxibustion, Qi gong and Tai Ji exercises. 

The basic philosophy of TCM is balance. We believe that in order for an individual to be healthy and well there should be a balance of Qi or the energy or life force.

Qi is a unquantifiable substance that exists in all living things. Qi should be flowing abundantly and without hindrance. However due to effects of external as well as internal stress Qi gets disrupted. 

When Qi is obstructed or weaken it will manifest in different ways. Depending on where the Qi is affected symptoms can manifest physiologically to emotionally issues.

TCM treatments will focus on calming the symptoms as well as addressing the root cause. The progressive relief achieved will be permanent. 

Each of TCM's treatment modalities focus on different aspects of the body. Different combination and alternations are utilized for proven efficacy.
