Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient holistic system of health and healing. It is one of the oldest continuous systems of medicine in history. Acupuncture (one component of TCM) is one of the most commonly used procedures in the world. The Chinese believe the existence of humanity and, in fact, all of nature, is dependent upon a life energy called Qi (chee.) It is only by this energy that the planets move, the wind blows, our hearts beat and humans live and breathe. When this energy is flowing freely all of life’s processes operate in a rhythmic and harmonious way, but once this flow of energy is blocked (either by disease, trauma, stress, emotions, lifestyle, poor nutrition, etc) the system is disrupted and pain and illness occur. Acupuncture works to re-program and restore weak, stagnant or unbalanced energy. (Please read “An Eastern and Western perspective on how Acupuncture works”)
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends Acupuncture as an effective treatment for over forty medical problems including: pain, allergies, respiratory conditions, digestive disorders, gynecological problems, disorders of the eyes, nose and throat, headaches, alcoholism and substance abuse, back pain, arthritis, stress, tension emotional disorders and depression, to name a few.
