Traditional Chinese Medicine ~ TCM

Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM, which includes acupuncture and Chinese herbs, can treat and provide relief for a wide range of health issues, bringing the body, mind and spirit back into balance.  TCM is considered to be a general and holistic medicine, addressing the physical aspect of the individual while simultaneously dealing with the emotional, psychological and spiritual components. It treats the whole person, not just an illness. Below are listed some of the conditions treated with TCM:

  ~ Acute and chronic pain - from illness or injury
             -  This includes all types of musculo-skeletal pain – back pain, any joint pain, arthritis, sciatica, etc.
  ~ Stress management/Insomnia
  ~ Allergies/Asthma
  ~ Colds/Flu
  ~ Depression/Anxiety/Emotional and psychological issues
  ~ Smoking Cessation/Addictions
  ~ Digestive disorders
  ~ Headache/migraines
  ~ Fatigue
  ~ “Tune-ups” - TCM excels as a preventive and for general health maintenance. It’s always better to maintain health than wait for symptoms to appear.
