Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine are ancient healing modalities that have been used for thousands of years. Together they form a complete holistic healthcare system that can be helpful with such things as enhancing our immune system, supporting our physical and emotional well being and in the treatment and prevention of many illnesses.

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine provide a whole body approach to healing. Fine sterile needles are placed in various acupuncture points on the body, stimulating it's endocrine and nervous systems, bringing about our body's natural healing abilities and regulating homeostasis.

 

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective acupuncture points activate Qi, the vital energy that flows throughout the body, providing nourishment to all of it's parts and protecting it from illness. From a Western medicine perspective an example of Qi would be our bodies natural metabolic processes that occur on a daily basis, such as assimilating food and air into nutrients, blood and oxygen for our body to use.

 

Qi moves through pathways in the body called meridians. These meridians flow like a river providing health and nutrition to our body's organs, glands and tissues. If there is a blockage or disruption of the flow of Qi in these pathways, we may not be receiving the necessary nutrients our bodies need to function effectively, and health issues may begin to occur. Some factors in life that may block the healthy flow of Qi can include things such as physical or emotional trauma, stress, accidents, poor diet, lack of exercise or even overexertion.

Many other modalities can be used to stimulate the flow of Qi during Chinese Medicine treatments. Some of these modalities include herbal remedies, electro-acupuncture, gua sha, cupping and tui na massage.
