Acupuncture & TCM
Acupuncture for Fertility, Stress Relief, Wellness & more…
You’ll sit in a comfortable zero-gravity recliner or lie on a massage table and receive acupuncture in your arms and legs, so there’s no need to disrobe. So please, wear loose, comfortable clothing that can be pulled above elbows and knees.
Acupuncture works best when regular & frequent treatments are followed, for this reason we have discounted packages available.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a safe, effective, and complete medical system. It came from China, and is believed to have been around as long as 5000 years. It is a system that can accurately diagnose, treat and maintain good health. It is now growing in popularity in the U.S. as a great addition to western medicine. Acupuncture not only alleviates your symptoms, it will also address the root of your imbalance.
According to the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) we all have life energy called Qi flowing through meridian pathways, creating a complete energy system in the human body. Sometimes because of trauma, injury, or many other factors, a blockage may occur within these pathways through which Qi flows. When this happens we experience symptoms of imbalance which can include pain, sickness or emotional stress. Acupuncture is the insertion of sterile needles (these needles are thinner than a whisker!) into specific points along these meridians or energetic pathways that can access Qi, and release blockages which may restore balance to your health and well being.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
Chinese Herbs have also been around for thousands of years and are most effective when combined with acupuncture treatment. Chinese herbal medicine is used as part of the Traditional Chinese Medicine mode of therapy and is based on individual pattern diagnosis as well as disease diagnosis. There are over 400 herbs we choose from to treat a wide variety of symptoms. They are gentle on the body and digestion and can be used safely without side- effects even for pregnant women (and during lactation when prescribed by a trained practitioner) and children. We provide herbal prescriptions in pill form for ease and cost effectiveness. Most prescriptions cost less than $30.
TCM is a complete medical system that relies on achieving balance of the mind, body and spirit. This balance of our emotions and our life is essential for good health. Treatment is geared for the individual, because our bodies respond differently to different treatments. With TCM treatment principals, we can treat the person individually and not with a one size fits all mentality. We work with your own unique constitution to bring you to a greater state of health to achieve more balance in your physical and emotional well being.
