Traditional Chinese Medicine is one of the oldest and most
widely used health care systems in the world. It has been practiced
in many countries over the past 2500 years. Although it is
considered to be a relatively new concept in the west, its strengths
are catching on as a powerful form of medicine capable of addressing
a vast array of health issues from pain, allergies, migraines and
chronic degenerative diseases. It is extremely effective in treating
both acute and chronic conditions. It is also outstanding as
preventative care. It is a form of medicine rooted in the premise
that both acute and chronic disease result from imbalances in the
body's flow of energy (Qi). These imbalances are corrected by the
use of acupuncture and the other adjunct modalities explained above.
