Feel Better with Chinese Medicine

Classical Chinese Medicine is based on an ancient philosophy that describes the universe, and the body, in terms of two opposing forces, yin and yang. When these forces are in balance, the body is healthy. Energy, called "qi" flows along inner pathways, called meridians, throughout the body. This constant flow of energy keeps the yin and yang forces balanced. However, if the flow of energy gets blocked, like water getting stuck behind a dam, the disruption can lead to pain, lack of function and disease. Acupuncture releases blocked qi in the body and stimulate function, evoking the body’s natural healing response.

Acupuncture is the oldest continuously practiced medical system in the world. It is considered the fastest growing health-care system in America today. 

Modern research has demonstrated acupuncture’s effects on the nervous system, endocrine and immune systems, cardiovascular system, digestive system and the muscular skeletal system. By stimulating the body’s pathways, acupuncture can help to resolve pain, improve digestive function, and promote the natural self-healing process by stimulating specific acupuncture points. Acupressure, moxibustion, cupping, herbs, massage and the application of topical herbal ointments may further enhance the effects.
