What is Acupuncture?
Traditional Chinese Medicine is an ancient medical theory rooted in a long and rich history. Text books on the subject date back 5,000 years. TCM incorporates more than just Acupuncture. Other modalities include: Moxibustion, Cupping, Tui Na, and Herbology, although Acupuncture is the most popular. Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles into specific acupuncture points. These needles access meridian channels throughout the body with the purpose of effecting the Qi.
Modern Acupuncture is based in the understanding of how Acupuncture procedures affect the biochemistry of the body. The insertion of small needles into strategic Acupuncture points elicit a series of endocrine, hormonal and biochemical reactions in the body. We use this new wave of TCM thinking to combine the ancient knowledge with the modern knowledge. Bring together the strengths of both medical models to improve treatment success.
