Chinese Medicine
Oriental Medicine is thousands of years old. It is a holistic and integrative wellness system that promotes natural healing without dangerous side effects. In oriental medicine, the mental, emotional and physical are parts of the same entity. This concept takes the whole person into account, both in diagnosis and treatment. Disease is typically viewed as disorder or disharmony, and treatment is directed toward balancing and harmonizing.
This powerful system of healing excels in treating a broad range of conditions, both chronic and acute. Acupuncture can help control pain without drugs, strengthen the immune system, and increase energy and vitality. It also enhances the body’s ability to recuperate after surgery, an emotional and/or physical trauma, and chronic or acute illness.
The practitioner of Oriental medicine endeavors to restore harmony in the patient in order to promote and maintain good health. A patient is not diagnosed with "illnesses." Rather, imbalances in the meridians, organs, blood, and body tissue are assessed on every visit.
