Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture

energy flow. 

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Acupuncture originates from ancient Chinese medical beliefs and is a holistic method of healing. It focuses on restoring equilibrium and harmony in the body's Qi energy system. Through the insertion of fine needles into precise points on the body, TCM Acupuncture seeks to activate the body's innate healing mechanisms. Treatment approaches may follow a purely traditional TCM method or incorporate elements of musculoskeletal acupuncture for potential benefits. 

Acupuncture uses precise needle placement techniques informed by a thorough comprehension of human anatomy and physiology to address numerous musculoskeletal and non-musculoskeletal ailments.  These strategically placed needles can boost blood flow to injured regions and tense muscles, expediting recovery by supplying nutrients and eliminating waste substances from the tissue. Additionally, acupuncture can alleviate pain perception and diminish tissue inflammation.
