Report
Our bodies contain an energy force known as Qi, pronounced "Chee." The Qi encompasses the spiritual, emotional, mental and physical aspects of life. Our health is influenced by the flow of Qi throughout the body in combination with the negative and positive energies of Yin and Yang. Qi travels through the body along 14 main "meridians" or pathways.
Diagnosis and treatment
Report
Chinese medicine is typically more holistic in its approach to wellness than Western medicine. Treatment begins with a thorough review of your medical history. Some questions may seem unrelated to your reason for making the visit but are important to the diagnosis (such as sleep habits, ability to tolerate heat and cold, diet, etc.)
Other treatment options
Report
Cupping - A therapy in which a jar is attached to the skin surface to cause local congestion through the negative pressure created by introducing heat in the form of an ignited material. There are two kinds of jars used commonly clinically: bamboo jar and glass cup. The cupping method has the function of warming and promoting free flow of Qi and blood in the meridians, dispelling cold dampness, diminishing swellings and pains.
Learning more about Qi and TCM
Report
Acupuncture is a form of medical treatment based on principles that have been used in China for over 3000 years. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that a block of Qi (ie: yin yang imbalance) in the body causes disease. Qi is a word used to describe the flow of blood and energy through the body, which like rivers that run and nourish the tissue and organs.
TCM diagnostic methods
Report
There are four diagnostic methods; namely: inspection, auscultation and olfaction, inquiring, and palpation. The Chinese pulse examination is a major diagnostic tool in establishing the condition of the "Meridians" or pathways of Qi within your body. Observation of the tongue, also known as tongue diagnosis, is an important procedure in diagnosis by inspection.
