Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a comprehensive system for the assessment and treatment of acute and chronic disorders, as well as preventative health care and maintenance. With extensive training in China, Korea, Japan, and the United States, our patients will receive traditional East Asian therapies to treat various Western ailments. TCM originated in Asia more than 5,000 years ago and has been introduced in the United States for more than 150 years. There is a growing convergence between modern Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. Millions of Americans have received Acupuncture treatment for the elimination or reduction of pain, increase in function, and achieve greater sense of vitality and well-being. There are over 2,000 Acupuncture or “trigger” points throughout the body along specific meridians or “pathways” associated with a particular physiological system and internal organ. Disease is considered to arise when imbalance of a meridian cause a block in the free flow of blood and vital energy. By inserting fine, hair-thin filaments, Acupuncture points are stimulated to release pain-killing endorphins, strengthen the immune system, and promote blood circulation. Only fine high-grade surgical steel needles, sterile and disposable, are used in our clinic. The effect of physiological function and health from Acupuncture follows a holistic medical paradigm to regulate the function of the human body, calm the nervous system, regulate the endocrine system, and increasing resistance by enhancing the immune system. Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine comprises of nearly 6,000 substances derived from plant, animal, and mineral sources. Taken in the form of teas, powders, capsules and applied to the body as liniments, herbal formulas are very effective in nourishing, strengthening, and regulating the body. As an essential therapy, herbs are formulated to specifically tailor each person's condition in a holistic, safe, alternative approach to health and well-being. |
