The key principal that defines and connects all of Traditional Chinese Medicine is that of Chi, or vital energy. The chi of all organs must be in balance, neither too active nor too dormant, for a person to be healthy. The chi of the body's organs and systems are all connected with meridians or channels that lie just under the skin. Our TCMD will use herbs and acupuncture to assist your body in regulating Chi and achieving balance.
The practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture has been around for over four thousand years and is particularly effective in treating chronic illness. Very thin needles are inserted into specific points in throughout the body, most often following meridians. Western anatomical acupuncture focuses on point selection based on anatomy, your symptoms and a biomechanical examination. The type of acupuncture recommended is based on your needs and goals and is part of the scope of practice of Chiropractic, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Naturopathy.
