Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a traditional form of Chinese medicine based upon the theory that very thin needles inserted along pathways in the body can regulate the flow of energy and maintain physical and emotional health. Acupuncture is an effective method of pain management, providing relief from many forms of pain, including back pain, tendonitis, sciatica and headaches. Acupuncture has also shown success in treating conditions such as gastritis and other intestinal problems, asthma, anxiety, insomnia,addictions, facial tics, menopausal symptoms, infertility, and menstrual problems.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese Herbal Medicine is based upon a 3,000-year-old tradition of compounding natural ingredients into effective disease treatments and preventive medications. This practice also attempts to promote wellness by establishing an internal biochemical balance that enhances a patient’s capacity for enjoyment and happiness. Chinese Herbal Medicine (CHM) is a useful adjunct in the treatment of many conditions, including menopause and headaches.
