Acupuncture
is a natural healing technique which restores, regulates and normalizes
the flow of vital energy (Qi) through the body by inserting hair-thin
needles into the body¨s energy pathways. By manipulating the flow of Qi,
acupuncture can deal with the imbalances
that are the root cause of many diseases and health problems. Energy
blockages, systemic deficiencies and imbalances or disharmonies of the
body¨s fundamental substances can all be addressed by acupuncture
treatment. Scientific studies on acupuncture continue to be funded in
this country by National Institutes of Health. Clinical trials and
functional MRI studies have demonstrated again that acupuncture produces
measurable effective treatment for a wide range of conditions including
headache, nausea, back pain, knee pain, arthritis pain, infertility and
emotional disorders.
Chinese
Herbs are used for
balancing, harmonizing and cleansing the body¨s systems. Used alone or
in combination with acupuncture, they effectively treat a wide variety
of health problems and maintain wellness without significant side
effects. Ongoing scientific studies into traditional Chinese herbs are
corroborating the effectiveness of many time-tested formulas. TCM Health
Center practitioners have a large selection of standard formulas and raw
herbs available and are well-trained in prescribing them.
Dietary Therapy
is a concept fundamental to Chinese culture and is an important part of
traditional Chinese medicine. Scientific investigation into Chinese food
therapy has found that many of the phytochemicals in traditional foods
are beneficial to specific health problems such as menopause, digestive
disorders, mood swings, etc. Modifying our diet can produce significant
improvements in health.
Tui
Na is a Chinese form
of therapeutic massage. Based on the same treatment principles as
acupuncture, it balances and harmonizes Qi flow in the body. Tui Na
effectively addresses many health conditions through its ability to
control pain and reduce stress. It can increase mobility, improve
paralytic conditions, relax tight muscles and aid in recovery from
trauma.
Tai
Chi is meditative
and physical exercise which coordinates breathing techniques with bodily
movements. It helps tone muscle, improve flexibility, reduce stress and
build entrance.
