 In this hectic and stressful world it is difficult to find balance. Stress, poor diet, overwork, lack of sleep, aging and trauma can lead to imbalances in the body which can cause disease and/or pain. The goal of Traditional Chinese Medicine is to help the body return to a balanced and harmonious state. Rather than only treating the symptoms, TCM is a holistic practice that takes into account the whole person and treats not only the symptoms but the underlying root cause of disease. Acupuncture is one of the treatment modalities within Traditional Chinese Medicine. Acupuncture is preformed by using fine needles that are inserted into the skin at specific points on the body to relieve pain and treat disease. Acupuncture essentially coaxes the body into healing itself by adjusting the flow of energy. The benefit of this is that there are little to no side effects after the treatments because the body is balancing itself. Commonly Treated Conditions Include: - Musculo-skeletal Pain and Injury
- Headaches & migraines
- Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders
- Respiratory Issues - asthma, allergies, bronchitis, colds, flu, emphysema, COPD
- Gynecological Disorders - endometriosis, infertility, cramps, PMS, menopause
