Medicine
Acupuncture originated in China over 3000 years ago and is presently used as a primary healthcare system throughout the world. It is a method of balancing and building the body’s life force or energy known as QI. Acupuncturists recognize particular pathways called “meridians” through which this energy circulates, connecting all major organs.
Traditional Chinese Medicine views a person as an energy system in which body and mind are unified, each influencing and balancing the other. Unlike Western medicine which attempts to isolate and separate a disease from a person, Chinese Medicine emphasizes a holistic approach that treats the whole person.
Your practitioner will make a Chinese medical diagnosis based upon a thorough examination and consultation. The examination includes the assessment of the pulse and tongue and observation of the patient’s facial color. Once a diagnosis is made, your acupuncturist will choose the most appropriate treatment.
